The incident occurred just before 6:30 p.m. at home near the intersection of Southwest 266th Street and 138th Court.

According to Miami-Dade police, the incident began with an altercation between 31-year-old Dacia Allie Tisdale and one of the victims at a residence.

An arrest report states at some point during the altercation, Tisdale returned to her vehicle, retrieved a gun and began firing into the front yard, striking three of the four victims.

Authorities said Tisdale then fled the scene in what witnesses described as a dark red, four-door Chevrolet but returned shortly after. She then reportedly fired additional shots from the vehicle, injuring the fourth victim, police said.

Before officers arrived, three of the victims were driven to a hospital in Homestead by a friend, police said.

According to investigators, two of those individuals were later airlifted to Jackson South Medical Center.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported the fourth victim directly to the same hospital, where authorities confirmed that all four victims were listed in stable condition as of Friday morning.

The victims, who are personally acquainted with the suspect, later identified her during a six-person photo lineup, the report stated.

Officers said they located Tisdale at a residence on Thursday, where she was taken into custody without incident.

According to Tisdale’s arrest report, she uses the alias “Sexy, Red.” However, MDPD Detective Andre Martin clarified that she has no affiliation or connection to St. Louis hip-hop artist Janae Nierah Wherry, known by her stage name Sexyy Redd.

Less than 24 hours after and a mile away from the scene of the quadruple shooting authorities said another bout of gunfire wounded a man Thursday afternoon. Police confirmed that they are still searching for a suspect in that case.

Jail records show Tisdale is facing four counts each of premeditated attempted murder, illegally discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and illegal use or display of a firearm while committing a felony.

She made a brief court appearance Friday morning, but a Miami-Dade County judge postponed her bond hearing.

Police have not disclose a motive for the shooting at this time.
