Teenagers shot hours before 10-year-old killed in another Miami neighborhood

MIAMI – A 16-year-old died and another teenager was injured in a shooting Tuesday night in Miami. 

The teens were shot in the 2000 block of Northwest 18th Terrace. Both were taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where one of them died. The other was listed in critical but stable condition Tuesday night.

Later in the night, a 10-year-old boy was shot in the head and killed in the 1900 block of Northwest Fourth Court. Miami police said initial investigations did not link the two crimes, but they are not ruling out the possibility that they are related. 

"We're putting that puzzle together to see if that is linked, if this is a retaliation. Everything is up in the air right now," Sgt. Freddie Cruz said. "This is very disturbing and this is something very uncommon for us."

The identities of the teenagers were not released. It is unclear whether they were targeted.
