Police – NBC 6 South Florida
A 16-year-old boy was among those hurt in a shooting that started in Little Haiti under circumstances that authorities continue to investigate.
Shots were first fired on Monday at around 2 p.m. near Northwest 56th Street and Third Avenue, Miami police said.
One of the victims, a 16-year-old, was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police did not elaborate on his condition, but did say he was alert and conscious when he arrived at the hospital.
Then, a 20-year-old man shot in the foot showed up at the same hospital.
Police said he was transported there by a family member, but it was not clear how he might be connected to the original shooting.
Detectives also found a bullet-riddled SUV on Interstate 95 near 79th Street.
Video from Chopper6 showed that someone was still in the passenger seat as the vehicle was stopped on the shoulder. The back window was shattered, and two baby car seats could be seen on the ground nearby. It’s unclear whether they had been inside the vehicle.
Authorities could not say how that was connected to the shooting that wounded the two victims.
Miami police are looking for information to understand what happened. Anyone with information should call Miami-Dade County CrimeStoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
