Deadly Double Shooting In Allapattah

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - In an Allapattah neighborhood where two men are shot dead in cold blood Thursday night not many people wanted to talk about.

However several people, who didn't want their identities revealed, told CBS4 News they saw or heard something.

"I think I seen a car speeding off, a lot of commotion," said one man.

"It sounded like fireworks,'' said a woman.

Miami police said just before 8 p.m. they received word of shots fired in the area of NW 13th Avenue and 35th Street. Arriving officers found two men dead inside a car.

"They appeared to have been suffering from gunshot wounds, City of Miami Fire Rescue did arrive on the scene and pronounced both of those males deceased," said Miami police Officer Kiara Delva.

Was it a drive-by or was the gunman on foot? Police said they didn't know at this point.

"We do have our forensic team on scene seeing if there are any identifying marks that were possibly left behind or any witnesses that saw exactly what transpired," said Delva.

Police are now pleading for the public's help in solving a double murder with few answers.

"Please if you saw or heard anything you're urged to come forward help us locate the suspect or suspects," said Delva.

If you have any information the number to Crime Stoppers is (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
