Bullets graze woman during drive-by shooting in Opa-locka

Miami-Dade fire rescue personnel respond to shooting

OPA-LOCKA, Fla. – Bullets grazed a woman during a drive-by shooting on Sunday afternoon in Opa-locka.

After the shooting, a black sports utility vehicle with several bullet holes was parked outside of the Iglesia Betesda, a gated church. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded.

Three frightened women who asked not to be identified by name said they were leaving the Glorieta Gardens Apartments, at 13210 Alexandria Drive.

They said a shooter, likely a gang member, fired from a Lexus. The women fear it was likely related to a gang dispute they have nothing to do with.

There were two murders this week in Opa-locka.

On Saturday, a shooter killed a man who was trying to deliver a package to a woman who had ordered a gift from Walmart near Northwest 142 Lane and 17 Avenue.

On Monday, a shooter killed Keon Smith, a Miami Norland Senior High School football coach, at the Mary Alice Brown Apartments, 2888 NW 132 St.
