According to police, officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert and found a 17-year-old male who had been shot. Authorities did not disclose any information on the second victim involved in the shooting.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and rushed the teen to Jackson South Medical Center in stable condition, authorities said.
By Wednesday, police said over 20 bullet holes were visible in a metal fence, and two cars were found shot up. One of the vehicles appeared to have been hit more than 10 times.
Authorities said the culprit or culprits fired approximately 13 rounds in the direction of an apartment building and were driving a light-colored sedan at the time of the incident.
Neighbors say shootings are all too common in the area.
“More than 30. I would say it was like a machine gun,” said a resident told Local 10 News the day after the shooting occurred.
Detectives went to the crime scene Wednesday evening to collect shell casings, but no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
Police did not disclose the teenager’s identity but confirmed he was in stable condition on Wednesday evening.
Anyone with information regarding the culprit or culprits is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 or 866-471-8477.
If the tip leads to an arrest or arrests, the tipster may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.00. All calls are kept strictly anonymous.
