A man was shot and killed in South Miami-Dade, police said.

Tuesday night’s homicide is the latest in a series of shootings in the area that has wounded more than 11 people in nearly two weeks.

Miami-Dade police said they found the dead man shortly after 9 p.m. in the area of Southwest 252nd Street and 128th Avenue while responding to a ShotSpotter alert, a system that notifies police to gunfire in an area.

Police said the man, whose identity has not been released, is in his 30s. Detectives say they don’t have information on the gunman or what led to the gunfire.

This is at least the sixth shooting in South Miami-Dade since July 29, when four teenagers were shot and wounded at the Cutler Manor Apartments, 10875 SW 216th St. Police say at least two of the shootings were drive-bys.

The other shootings:

▪ July 30 — Two people are shot and taken to the hospital after a fight over a parked car at Southwest 220th Street and 116th Avenue. Less than five minutes later, police are alerted to gunfire at Southwest 231st Lane and 113th Place and find a bullet hole in a fence.

▪ Aug. 3 — Three women and two men are shot and wounded in a drive-by outside of the Perrine Rainbow apartment complex, 10000 SW 173rd Terr, in West Perrine.

▪ Aug. 7 — Gregory Arrington Jr., 23, is killed by a gunshot to the head at the intersection of Southwest 263rd Terrance and 141st Court.

▪ Aug. 8 — A 16-year-old is shot and critically wounded at 10625 SW 171st St. in West Perrine.

Police are asking anyone who has information on any of the shootings to call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477). You can also visit www.crimestoppersmiami.com and select “Give a Tip”.

    Indian forest service official Surya Sen usually manages a city zoo, but during the world's largest general elections, he has a very different task - rooting out online misinformation to prevent any disturbances. As nearly a billion voters head to the polls in a mammoth six-week programme that began on April 19, officials like Sen counter rapidly spreading online misinformation from election cells that also monitor television and public camera images. "Social media is the primary ground for misinformation," said Sen, whose team monitors social media from an office in India's Silicon Valley city of Bengaluru that goes to the polls on Friday.

  • Russian programmers play 'cat and mouse' game to outsmart censors

    When Antony Rudkovsky was about 15, he began to teach himself how to build virtual private networks (VPNs) to access Internet content unavailable in Russia. At first, the young programmer just wanted to listen to music on the Spotify streaming app in his bedroom in Nizhny Novgorod, a city roughly 270 miles (430 km) east of Moscow. Three years later, Rudkovsky, now 18, snagged $1,200 – the biggest share of the prize money – at a competition last month organised by a civil society group to design a VPN to evade Russia's censors.
