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.
