Man Remains Hospitalized After Rush Hour Shooting On Busy NE Dade Road

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - One man died, a second remains in the hospital after a shooting on busy Miami-Dade Road during the Monday rush hour.

It happened around 5:30 p.m. along Ives Dairy Road and Highland Lakes Boulevard just east of I-95.

Neighbor Ramona Sela told CBS4's Peter D'Oench she was startled by what she heard.

"I heard a crash and there was a screech," she said. "I went to my daughter's bedroom windows and looked out and saw the blue car by the fence. I saw police from Sunny Isles Beach drive up and they had their guns out. I saw police pull a body from the blue car and then the ambulance came and the whole area was blocked off. It was intense. I don't think people understand how bad this intersection is. We have crashes here on a daily basis."

"This was horrible," she said. "This was horrible. And then you hear road rage might be involved and people are on alert, especially with the Super Bowl here. This is becoming intense. And we have so many kids in the neighborhood and now everyone is scared about what is happening near their homes. I hope they find whoever did this."

Another neighbor believes this started and ended because of road rage.

"The two cars were shooting at each other. There was a white Lexus that was stuck in the middle of it. He got hit by the blue car," a witness said.

Miami-Dade police said the two men shot were in their 20s, they were taken to different hospitals. One of the men, who was shot in the head, did not survive. The second man, who was shot in the chest, was taken to Aventura Hospital and remains there.

A woman who lives in the area said she blue car crash into a white Lexus and then the blue car crashed into a fence. A surveillance camera on a nearby home captured two people running away after that crash.

"I guess they were scared that the person or someone was coming after them," the witness said.

It's not known if those two people were involved in this crime but neighbors hope the video will help police find those responsible. One image shows a man running down a street and another image shows a person in a hoody running through a neighbor's yard.

The people in the Lexus walked away without a scratch.

"They're lucky," said the witness. "I mean, look at them. They're standing up right now. They're lucky they got out of it alive."

As for the third car involved, it kept going, according to neighbors.

Miami-Dade police said they are still working to determine what led to the shooting. Police are hoping to be able to release flyers soon.

So far investigators say they do not know what prompted the shooting and they do not have a description of the suspects or their car to release.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).

There's a reward of up to $3,000.
