The sheriff’s office says they are wanted on $1.6 million bail and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Detectives believe the shootings of Jose Manuel Clemente, 45, and Iliecer Noa, 43, both of Stock Island, were targeted hits.
Deputies say it took place Monday at the commercial fishing trap yard at 5515 5th Ave. known locally as “La Curva.” Clemente was pronounced dead at the scene, while Noa remains in critical condition at Jackson South Medical Center in Miami.
A witness reported hearing the men argue over a Mercedes vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.
