Miami-Dade police said officers with the Homestead Police Department were dispatched to the Nexx Motel, located at 841 N. Krome Ave., at approximately 1116 p.m. Wednesday after receiving reports of an altercation.
Authorities said when officers arrived, they discovered an unresponsive man at the scene.
Police said medics airlifted the man to Jackson South Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead despite extensive lifesaving efforts.
