NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman has died after, police said, she was shot in the parking lot of a shopping center in Northwest Miami-Dade, early Sunday morning.

According to police, 21-year-old Juliana Reynoso was shot outside a restaurant in a shopping center located near Northwest 186th Street and 75th Place.

Officials said Reynoso was leaving Los Verdes restaurant with a friend, around 3:45 a.m., when a fight broke out in the parking lot. Reyoso was shot while sitting inside a silver Nissan.

She was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where she succumbed to her injuries.

“The violence is a lot more than people actually think,” said witness Rashee Miles. “It’ll continue to be the same way until somebody does something about it.”

Reyoso’s brother said she went to the restaurant to eat after ending her shift at Fusion Lounge in Hialiah.

A male was in the driver’s seat of the Nissan with Reyoso at the time of the shooting. He was temporarily detained and questioned at the scene, then later released.

“The violence is getting real bad,” said Miles.

Several businesses were still open at the time of the shooting.

If you have any information on this shooting, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
