An argument that escalated into gunfire left two people dead at a Northwest Miami-Dade food truck, authorities confirmed. The violent episode occurred just after midnight near the intersection of NW 27th Avenue and NW 30th Street. According to CBS Miami, Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputies found a man and a woman who had been fatally shot in front of the parked food truck.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced the woman dead, while the man was transported to the Ryder Trauma Center where he later died. "The subject approached the victims at a local establishment, a food truck, had an altercation of words where the subject brandished a firearm and shot at the victims," Joseph Peguero, with the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, told CBS Miami. A second woman who was fired at during the incident managed to escape unharmed, dodging the bullets meant for her that had ended the lives of her companions.
NBC Miami reported that police taped off the area with yellow evidence markers, which are typically used to signify bullet casings, scattered about the scene.
As the investigation continues, details of the suspect remain elusive. While the names of the victims have not been disclosed, the search for the shooter continues, with traffic along southbound NW 27 Avenue, which had been closed for several hours for evidence collection, now back open.
