Authorities are searching for a man involved in the shooting death of 20-year-old Delilah Ruiz in northwest Miami-Dade over the weekend. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the shooting occurred just before 8 p.m. Saturday near Northwest 189th Street and Northwest 63rd Avenue, following a heated argument.
