A shooting at a RaceTrac in Northwest Miami-Dade just after noon Tuesday left a man with a gunshot wound to the thigh. He ran into a nearby apartment complex and was taken to Ryder Trauma Center by paramedics. No arrests have been announced.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said it responded to a medical call involving reports of a possible shooting but did not provide further details. WSVN reported that the shooting occurred at the RaceTrac at Northwest 119th Street and 24th Avenue; the station's 7Skyforce helicopter was over the scene shortly afterward.
The victim had run south from the gas station into the new Westview apartment complex, WSVN reported. The station's aerial footage showed paramedics bringing him out of a home and placing him on a gurney. He was taken to Ryder Trauma Center with a gunshot wound to the thigh.
Investigation Still in Early Stages
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said it continues to investigate the shooting but has not released the patient's age or said whether anyone is in custody, the station's report noted. Those gaps leave much of the incident unresolved for now, including who opened fire and why the victim ended up fleeing into a residential complex rather than staying at the gas station.
A separate shooting in Brownsville
In a separate incident on May 23, 2026, a man was found with an apparent gunshot wound to his lower extremities near Northwest 24th Avenue and Northwest 62nd Street in Brownsville, according to Local 10. He was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition. That report places the shooting at a different location and describes a lower-extremity wound; it does not establish a connection to the RaceTrac case.
This is not the only recent shooting to rattle the area. In a separate incident reported by the same outlet, deputies responded to a Saturday-morning shooting near Northwest 24th Avenue and 62nd Street, where a man was found with a gunshot wound to his lower extremities and taken to a hospital in stable condition. Investigators in that case had not released any information about the shooter, and nothing in the available reporting ties the two shootings together.
For now, the RaceTrac shooting remains an open investigation, with the Sheriff's Office continuing to gather details as the victim recovers from his injury.
