NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are searching for the people responsible for a shooting along Interstate 95 in North Miami that sent two people to the hospital.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene of the shooting near Northwest 135th Street, just before 6:30 p.m., Friday.
Officials said a dark colored vehicle opened fire on a blue Ford Mustang that was traveling southbound on the highway with three people inside.
“Black, possibly Toyota approached the vehicle on the side and took several shots at the Mustang,” said Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Sanchez.
The dark colored vehicle then sped away.
Police said the driver and a passenger inside the Mustang were injured. The victims pulled off the interstate and drove to the Pro Energy gas station on Opa-locka Boulevard, where they called for help.
7News cameras captured first responders taking the victims out of the sports car.
