A Miami man who tried to protect his wife and daughter from a pair of home invaders was shot and killed early Wednesday, family members said.

Miami Police say they're looking for two suspects who shot and killed the man inside his home in the area of Northwest 16th Avenue and 44th Street.

Family members said 34-year-old Maurice Harris and his wife and 11-year-old daughter were inside the home when the two men broke in around midnight.

"We are all numb, in disbelief," said Harris' mother-in-law, Annie Streeter.

According to Streeter, Harris was shot after he stepped in to stop one of the men who aimed his weapon at his daughter.
