Girlfriend Of Miami Beach Shooting Victim Starts GoFundMe To Catch Killer

The girlfriend of a man shot and killed in Miami Beach last week is asking for the public's help in identifying a killer. 

Katy Park, who witnessed the Jan. 25th shooting, started a GoFundMe page to raise the existing $5,000 reward being offered for information that leads to an arrest in the death of Kamil Patel. 

On the page, Park describes the events before Patel's death. Park said the she came to visit Patel who had just moved to South Florida for a job.

Patel and Park went out in South Beach Thursday night for drinks and to sing karaoke, according to the page. The two had drinks at Mac's Deuce Bar in the 200 block of 14th Street and then headed down an alley on their way to Kill Your Idol karaoke bar just before midnight.

"That’s when time stopped. A small African American male got out of the passenger side of a white car pointing a gun at us," Park said.  "He fired two shots that hit Kamil in the left shoulder and abdomen, then got back in the car and disappeared. I am alive because Kamil protected me. He didn't hesitate. His last words were “Katy, keep walking.” 

Officials in Miami Beach said Friday that the gunman was wearing a hoodie and took off in a white sedan with a temporary tag. The tag number may be CC34319.

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
