A tragic and chaotic scene played out in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood on Monday night as 37 year old Robert Labranche ,aka 'Chowtime' or 'Bizzle', was murdered outside of a car wash.
According to Miami police, officers on patrol in the area of a car wash at 770 NW 54th St. heard gunshots about 8 p.m. and began canvassing the area. They found Labranche’s body on the ground in the corner of the car wash.
Labranche had two children, both younger than 10, inside an SUV he was apparently driving at the time. The children were not hurt, said Miami police spokesman Willie Moreno.
“Fortunately they didn’t see the incident,” Moreno said. “They were on the other side of the building.”
“He would not let you starve. He would not leave you in the street,” area resident Rod Parker said of Bizzle. “If you asked him for something, he would try his best to do whatever he can for you – I mean for everybody.”
Police said in a statement that they are searching for a black male suspect in his 20s who fled the scene wearing all black.
The scene in LIberty City became chaotic when the victims’ relatives crossed the crime scene tape, and police had to use force to restrain a man and woman. They were later released and no charges were filed, police said. ''Emotions were very high'', Miami Police spokesman Det. Willie Moreno said.
