MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A man and woman were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital after shots rang out at a northwest Miami-Dade apartment complex Monday night.
"The two victims were outside of the apartment complex when the shooter opened fire striking both victims," said Miami-Dade police Det. Marjorie Eloi. "One victim was struck in the head and the second victim was struck in the shoulder and left arm."
The shooting happening at the Blue Lake Village apartment complex off NW 12th avenue and 103rd Lane – the same apartment complex where 6-year-old King Carter was shot and killed in February.
King's father went ducking for cover, he said, after he heard about 20 shots.
"It's getting out of hand. You have kids playing out here when they're supposed to be playing out here. It's the time of day, they're out of school and it's time to get a little play in," Santonio Carter said.
Fed up with the endless violence, Carter said that he is moving out of the neighborhood come Tuesday.
Miami-Dade police investigators said the whole thing began with a woman acting erratically.
Soon after, a man – whose relationship to the woman is unknown – arrived and began shooting.
They are now looking for that woman and the man, who they said fled on foot.
"It's still unknown who the target was. But unfortunate this evening, two people were struck," Eloi said.
If you have any information that can help police, please contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.
