Two people were killed and two others were hospitalized after an overnight shooting in southwest Miami-Dade, deputies said, turning a quiet residential stretch into an active crime scene early Saturday.
Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputies responded Saturday morning to reports of gunfire and found one person dead at the scene. Officials said several victims were taken or brought to nearby hospitals, and the investigation remains active with no arrests reported so far.
What authorities said
According to NBC 6 South Florida, deputies arrived at 21110 SW 116th Ave at about 9:08 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting that followed a dispute. At the scene, a man was found dead and a woman suffering from a gunshot wound was taken to the hospital, while another man walked into a hospital for treatment.
NBC 6 South Florida also reported that a fourth victim was dropped off at HCA Florida Cutler Bay Emergency and later transferred to Jackson Memorial South, where he died.
Investigation and local context
The shooting is the latest in a string of violent incidents in southwest Miami-Dade that have rattled neighborhoods, as CBS Miami documented earlier this year. Residents in pockets like West Perrine have already been on edge after multiple shootings in close succession.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office routinely asks anyone with information to contact its tip lines, and county press releases list 305-SHERIFF and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS for anonymous tips. Detectives have not publicly released the victims' names or a possible motive as the probe continues.
