Police investigate 2 SW Miami-Dade shootings that took place near scene where 4 teens were shot

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ Investigators in southwest Miami-Dade are looking into a string of shootings Sunday that happened just minutes apart from each other.

The shootings come just two days after four teenagers were shot by a gunman who took off on Friday afternoon.

One shooting happened around 12:20 a.m. along Southwest 116th Avenue near 220th Street.

Local 10 News cameras spotted a car that had its window shot, as well as crime scene tape that remained at the scene.

According to Miami-Dade police, a dark-colored vehicle parked across from the victimā€™s house and the victim told the driver that they could not park there.

Police said the driver then got out of the vehicle and began shooting at the victim.

Two people were shot and were taken to nearby hospitals in stable condition.

Police have not said whether they have anyone in custody or if they are seeking any suspects.

Another shooting happened around 12:15 a.m. about four minutes away, near Southwest 113th Place and 231st Lane.

A bullet hole could be seen in a fence, and surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News from a neighbor shows a car turn left and moments later one shot rings out followed by rapid gunfire. The car then sped off.

According to police, officers responded to the area after receiving a ShotSpotter alert.

Police said officers didnā€™t find a scene in the area, but about five minutes later Homestead police advised them that a gunshot victim was transported to a nearby hospital by unknown means.

The victim told police that she was shot near 232nd Street and 112th Court, but officers say they didnā€™t find evidence of a shooting there either.

Police say as of this time, the two shootings do not appear to be related.

Fridayā€™s shooting involving the four teenagers at the Cutler Manor Apartments is about five minutes from where one of these shootings occurred.

Police have not made any arrests in the shooting that resulted in two teens being airlifted to area hospitals.

Anyone with information on any of the shootings is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
