Miami-Dade deputies are seeking the suspects who riddled an SUV with bullets, killing a woman and injuring two children

Sunday morning, Miami-Dade police towed away a dark SUV riddled with bullets. A woman and two children were shot while inside it Saturday morning in a neighborhood in NE Miami-Dade.

All inside were struck. The woman died at the hospital. An 11-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy were shot several times and are in critical condition. 

Possibly more than one shooter

According to the preliminary investigation, the woman and children were inside the SUV when “several subjects” approached the vehicle and opened fire, striking all three of them, before fleeing the area, MDSO said.

MDSO Det. Angel Rodriguez called the shooting “senseless” as deputies towed away the bullet-ridden car from the scene.

“[We’re] reaching out to residents in this area and basically talking to anyone willing to speak to them, they are comfortable and they believe that there’s at least several shootings involved,” Rodriguez said.  

There is no other information at this time, but MDSO added that detectives are trying to establish the familial ties among the women and children.

A second car that is believed to be involved in the shooting was also towed from the scene.

Waking up to a crime scene

Neighbors like Andre McFarlane were shocked as they woke up to the crime scene tape and flashing lights.

“My reaction is that it’s terrible,” he told CBS News Miami.

“This is no reason — no justification — as to why this has to take place,” Rodriguez added. “This is a residential area.”

At this time, no arrests have been made, and anyone with any information on this shooting is advised to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
