HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - Hialeah Police are seeking the public’s help in their search for two armed suspects behind a carjacking at a local CVS.
According to investigators, 16-year-old Mikell Joshua Murphy and a second suspect, both armed, approached a couple sitting in a white BMW in the pharmacy’s parking lot, at 101 Hialeah Drive, June 25, at around midnight.
Police said the suspects pointed their pistols at Frank Miranda and his girlfriend, demanding them to leave their vehicle. Fearing for their lives, the victims complied.

Both suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
Surveillance cameras did not capture the incident.
