Shocking surveillance video captures the execution-style killing that sent throngs of Miami spring breakers bolting Sunday — the second deadly shooting that erupted at the popular party destination over the weekend.
The terrifying footage shows crowds of vacationers walking underneath umbrellas around 3:30 a.m. when a gunman starts firing off rounds.
Startled tourists can be seen covering their heads as they run from the shots.
The victim is then seen falling to the ground as the gunman continues firing at him.
The shooter then runs from the bloody scene.
Miami Beach police later identified the suspect as Dontavious Leonard Polk, a 24-year-old from Fort Lauderdale.
Polk was being held Sunday night on a first-degree murder charge.
Two days earlier, a man died and another was injured when gunshots rang out, sending masses running in fear from restaurants and clubs into the crowded streets.
Cops found four guns at the scene and held one person, but have not shared any other details.
The violence prompted the city to enact a curfew Sunday night, prohibiting tourists and partygoers in South Beach from being out from 11:59 p.m. through 6 a.m. Monday.
Miami Beach police officers were pictured Sunday enforcing the strict curfew, which does not apply to residents, people going to and from work, emergency services and hotel guests.

They forgot to whiten his name though. “Dontavious”... swedish maybe?
Named after Dontavious Cleptarius, a well known sandal thief in Ancient Rome.
Miami should be happy that they’ve been culturally enriched
So sad, I’m sure Mr Polk was going to become a brain surgeon, or Pianist or perhaps write the next sequel to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series. Now jail for him:
Chicago was a little light on shootings this weekend. Can we give Chicago the count?
If you have the first name of a Roman Centurion, and the last name of a U.S. President, you just MIGHT be Amish…
I went to Ft Lauderdale/Miami twice in college 70s early 80’s and it was pretty safe, not anymore.
My boy just got back from his senior year Spring break in Florida and he and his buddies went to Destin area. I can see why.
Surprise, surprise, surprise...
So the victim, did his life matter or was he not riot worthy?
I should mention, that is Dontavius, not the victim.
Can’t bring them anywhere.
Roman?
Refreshing...they actually arrest criminals there.
I doubt there will be any jail time, after all, he has been abused by white people all his life and probabley raised by his grandmother because his Mother and Father were to sorry to raise him. Our country is going down the tubes because of these kinds of animals.
Roman around with a gun in his hand!
Obviously reparations would have prevented this…
Dontavious...such a wholesome, American, future rap star name.
I weep for this country
Wonder how many college football programs recruited him?
