Here’s how the sighting was reported by the Miami Herald:

Kenny Melendez was out flying his drone over the weekend in South Beach when he saw a shadow next to a swimmer. He panned in and saw a large shark — which he believed was a tiger shark — not far from shore. So he brought the drone down to about 15 feet above the water and followed it for about 10 minutes as it swam dangerously close to unsuspecting swimmers.
