Police investigating after 2 teens shot overnight in Hialeah

HIALEAH, Fla. – Hialeah police are investigating after 2 teens were shot overnight on Wednesday night in Hialeah.

The shooting was reported just after 10 p.m. Wednesday in the area of West 12th Avenue and West 51st Street.

Police say an 18-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy were shot multiple times and drove themselves to Mount Sinai Medical Center on West 20th Avenue in Hialeah.

The fire department said the woman suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and leg and the boy was shot in the arm.

Both teens were alert and conscious when they went to the hospital, first responders said. They were later airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.

Hialeah police Sgt. Jose Torres confirmed that both victims are listed in stable condition.

A neighbor, Estela Cruz, spoke with Local 10 News and speculated that the shooting stemmed from some sort of conflict, but at this point, investigators have not revealed a possible motive or description of the possible shooter.

“Hopefully what happened to them wasn’t too serious and they catch those people,” said Cruz.

No other details were immediately released.
