Teen brothers killed in Miami double shooting, police search for gunman

Loved ones hold candlelight vigil to honor young brothers

MIAMI – A family is devastated after two brothers were shot and killed at an abandoned home in southwest Miami-Dade County.

The shooting happened on Saturday at approximately 5:30 p.m. at an apartment building in the area of Southwest 175th Street and 102nd Avenue in Miami.

A neighbor told Local 10 News they heard the gunfire and then saw a car speeding away.

Police are actively searching for whoever pulled the trigger.

The victims have been identified as brothers Alexis Martinez Marquez,19, and Osvaldo Martinez Marquez, 16. The younger brother was a student at South Dade Senior High School.

Authorities have not made any arrests or released any suspect information or vehicle descriptions.

In Ring camera video obtained by Local 10 News, a single gunshot can be heard before a red car is seen speeding off.

An argument then breaks out right after the shooting.

So far, officers have not made any arrests with neighbors who heard the shots too scared to speak up.

On Monday night, a candlelight vigil was held to honor the brothers.

Mourners arrived with roses and balloons, creating a small memorial at the foot of the apartment complex.

Family members have started a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral services for the brothers, and it can be found by clicking here.

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
