MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Three people were injured during a hail of gunfire in Miami Gardens.
At least one of the victims was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
7Skyforce hovered over the scene as Miami Gardens Police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue searched for clues, at around 4:30 p.m., Thursday.
Officials said the victims – ages 17, 19 and 25 – were shot in front of a Miami Gardens home. They were then treated by paramedics at the back of a home.
At least 17 yellow markers could be seen on the ground, indicating where police found spent bullets at the scene near Northwest 180th Terrace and 24th Avenue.
One of the three victims was found three blocks away at 183rd Avenue.
Officials believe the injuries sustained by the three victims are not life-threatening. All three were transported to Aventura Hospital.
Witnesses said they saw two gunmen flee from the scene.
Police said they are looking for the two subjects involved.
“Right now we do have two males that we’re looking for,” said Miami Gardens Police Officer Nelly Joseph. “The first male was said to be wearing a black hoodie, a red shirt. Also, the second one is a gray hoodie, gray shorts, white shirt, and right now, we’re possibly looking for a gray vehicle of an unknown make or model.”
A resident told 7News that her daughter was outside when bullets began to fly.
“I heard the shots, maybe about three or four,” said Alga Jones. “I’m not sure now. It’s very scary.”
The area was cordoned off by crime scene investigators but has since been cleared.
