Two young people were rushed to the hospital Thursday night after a shooting in the City of Miami, leaving neighbors on edge and slowing traffic near a busy intersection as first responders moved in.
Scene And Response
According to WSVN, the victims called police from separate locations, which initially scattered the search. Detectives ultimately traced the incident back to Northwest 13th Avenue and Fifth Street, where their investigation later centered.
7News cameras captured the tense moments as paramedics rushed both wounded individuals into the emergency room at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, with emergency crews working under the glare of flashing lights and the watch of worried onlookers.
Hospital And Care
Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center serves as Miami-Dade County's Level I trauma center and treats thousands of trauma patients each year, according to the Ryder Trauma Center. City medical teams transported the two victims there for emergency treatment.
Investigation
Detectives say the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation, and authorities have not released additional details, according to WSVN. Officials have not identified any suspects or discussed a possible motive as the probe continues.
