Deadly Double Shooting In NW Miami-Dade
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – An investigation is underway after a deadly double shooting in northwest Miami-Dade.
Miami-Dade police said officers were sent to NW 17th Avenue and 74th Street after they received reports of gunfire.
Arriving officers found a man dead on the scene and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. She was taken to the Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.
"This should stop," said Everl Bain.
The longtime northwest Miami-Dade resident said the commotion woke him.
"All I saw was a lot of police cars in the area, but nothing else. It is just always freighting to see something like this happen. There are a lot of young kids around here and elderly people," said Bain.
Bain has been living in the neighborhood for more than 60 years. He said he no longer feels safe.
"I think everyone here is tired of it. We don't feel safe just walking out of our doors, and it is time something should be done," said Bain.
Homicide investigators said there was an argument between the victims and a third person when shots were fired. They have confirmed they have detained a man and he's being questioned to determine his involvement, if any, in the shooting.
