A violent encounter between two groups in Downtown Miami resulted in gunfire and left one individual critically wounded last night, authorities reported. The incident took place just before the 11 p.m. mark near 150 NE 8th St., an address known to house a bowling alley, bars, and restaurants. According to NBC Miami, a confrontation initiated within the establishment spilled into the streets.
