A 21-year-old man was shot to death on Saturday after being chased around his home in the Coconut Grove area.

He was being electronically monitored. According to The Tribune’s records, his death was the 80th of the year.

The murder reportedly happened 5pm on Saturday. The victim was standing outside his home on First Street when two men with guns approached him from a small silver colored Japanese car.

He ran to the back of his home, but the two armed men chased him and reportedly shot him multiple times before returning to their vehicle and fleeing north on First Street.

 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) determined on the scene that the victim had died. 

 Police later confirmed the man was on bail for three offences: possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition.

 This killing is the sixth fatal shooting for the month and the latest to involve someone on bail for serious offences.
