An early morning shooting on Miami Beach remains under investigation as police investigate whether a continuing argument between rival rappers is behind the incident.

According to Miami Beach Police, shots were fired near the Fontainebleau parking garage shortly before 7 AM.

A vehicle was hit by bullets, but no one was inside at the time and the suspect fled in a grey Ford Mustang.
 
Reports have surfaced that the shooting may be the result of an ongoing feud between Los Angeles based rapper The Game and Philadelphia based Meek Mill.

The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, posted several photos on social media showing him being in Miami for a concert Thursday night, while concert goers posted video on social media showing Taylor insulting Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams.
