Police: Illegal intersection takeover leads to triple shooting in Miami-Dade

Parts of I-95 shut down as part of shooting investigation

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Police activity could be observed at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Avenue and 146th Street in Miami-Dade County on Sunday morning.

Crime scene tape blocked off the road and several Miami-Dade police cruisers were at the scene.

According to authorities, a group of people were involved in an intersection takeover and, at some point, an altercation broke out among some of the participants.

One or more people pulled out a gun and opened fire, striking three people.

Two of the victims were rushed by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition, and a third victim was taken by a friend to Hialeah Hospital. That man was later transferred to the Ryder Trauma Center. Authorities did not provide an update on the third victim’s health status.

Monday noon report:

Not far away, a portion of the southbound lanes of I-95 in Miami-Dade County was shut down early Sunday morning in the area of Northwest 95th Street.

Traffic cameras showed Florida Highway Patrol and Miami-Dade Police vehicles responding to the scene to investigate.

Florida Department of Transportation personnel were also on hand to block off the area.

A vehicle was observed on the side of the road that appeared to be involved in the incident.

Police confirmed to Local 10 News that the two scenes were connected.

Authorities said the subject or subjects who opened fire at the northwest Miami-Dade intersection remain at large.
