A punch to the head and fall to the ground killed a clubgoer in Miami early Monday -- all over a cigarette, police said.

The attack took place about 5:30 a.m. Monday in the area of Northeast Second Avenue and Ninth Street, police said Tuesday. Lisney Oliveira, 26, of Boca Raton, and a friend were walking to a club when a man came up and asked for a cigarette.

Oliveira's friend told police that he said they didn't have any, and walked on. In response, police said, the man punched Oliveira in the head. Oliveira tumbled to the ground, striking his head on the sidewalk. He died at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.

The name of Oliveira's friend wasn't released.
