MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -
One person is dead following an altercation at a Miami Gardens strip club early Thursday morning.
The shooting happened about 4 a.m. in the area of Northwest 199th Street and Northwest 27th Avenue.
Police said people inside an Acura ZDX abandoned the car in the intersection and fled from the scene.
Meanwhile, a couple blocks away, the driver of a Saturn was seen being put into the back of a police car in handcuffs. Another man who was a passenger in that car was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said it appeared the victim was trying to get out of the car when he was killed.
The driver of the Saturn refused to speak to reporters as he left the police department.
Police said the abandoned Acura, with license plate tag MSZDX, also had multiple bullet holes on the driver's side.
"We received information that there was an altercation between the deceased individual and some other party," said Detective Michael Wright. "We don't know if the altercation was physical or verbal, but there was an altercation inside an adult establishment in the area."
Anyone with information about this shooting is urged to call police.

When Notre Dame played in the national championship game a few years ago, there were warnings to visiting fans to be very careful in the area.
I went ahead and Googled it and in fact it was at the Mint Lounge per the end of the video on the link below of a local newscast:
http://www.local10.com/news/breaking-new…
But, more importantly, did anyone else catch one of the other links on that page? The headline read: "Serial buttocks groping suspect arrested in Cooper City" http://www.local10.com/news/kenneth-lope… The article kinda sucks, but thats a funny ass headline.
IDK what the deal w/ Miami Gardens is – I get the feeling a lot of the violence in drug-related inter-gang stuff – I’ve heard the Gardens drugs gangs have a beef w/ the drug gangs from Little Haiti – but IDK if that is speculation or fact.
Here is the list:
1. New Orleans
2. Camden, N.J.
3. Detroit
4. St. Louis, Mo.
5. Oakland, Calif.
6. Flint, Mich.
7. Gary, Ind.
8. Birmingham, Ala.
9. Richmond, Calif.
10. North Charleston, S.C.
11. Cleveland
12. Baltimore
13. Miami Gardens
14. Memphis, Tenn.
15. Youngstown, Ohio
16. Atlanta
17. Compton, Calif.
18. Orlando
19. Little Rock, Ark.
20. Minneapolis
Not that I really care, I just don't want anyone skipping out on a visit to any of the fine Gentlemen's Clubs in the area for fear of violence...
Tootsies is also sorta in the hood but it's off a major commercial street & Tootsies is kinda large and sorta self-contained like a resort in a not so good area (you're ok while there but not a good idea to go wandering around in the surrounding area).
That part of the county is never goint to be in the Condé Nast travel guide to SoFla. Then again that's why you can find strip clubs there.
BTW, Miami Gardens, for those not paying attention, had their police chief busted for mongering last week at the next county over (warning, autoplay vid/audio): http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-miam…
