One person killed in Miami shooting

MIAMI – One person is dead after gunfire erupted on a Miami street.

Miami police said that just before 6:30 a.m. officers were sent to 4271 NW S Tamiami Canal in reference to a shooting. When they arrived they found the body of a person who had been shot.

A woman who lives in the area said just after 6 a.m. she was getting her son ready when she heard at least five gunshots. The woman’s apartment overlooks the parking lot. She said when she looked outside, she saw a body on the ground and two men were standing near it. Both men had face masks and hoods on, she said.

The two men then ran off.

A child who lives in the area said he saw essentially the same thing. He said he heard gunshots and went to see what had happened.

“I heard several gunshots from like the back and the front. They had stopped and then four more were fired. I was just worried about where my mom was and I went and woke my mom up,” he said.

People who live in the neighborhood said the apartment building adjacent to the parking lot is used as an Airbnb and some bad things have happened there.
