NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A car was hit by stray gunfire after two other nearby drivers along the Palmetto Expressway shot at each other.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, witnesses said passengers in a white Porsche Panamera and another white car fired shots at each other on the eastbound Palmetto, near Northwest 27th Avenue, just after 12:30 a.m., Monday morning.
“There was an exchange of gunfire between two vehicles that were traveling eastbound on the Palmetto,” said FHP trooper Joe Sanchez. “It could’ve been road rage, or it could’ve been something that previously started somewhere else and ended up there.”
A third car was hit by stray gunfire. One bullet went through the bumper and ended up in the trunk while another bullet went through the back windshield, according to investigators.
While FHP was investigating, they received a call from Miami-Dade Police that a man went to Jackson North Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds.
“We did interview him at the hospital,” Sanchez said, “and right now it’s an ongoing investigation.”
Investigators are now working with that man and a person who witnessed the incident.
“He witnessed the exchange of gunfire between those two vehicles and his vehicle was struck twice. Thank God he did not sustain any injuries. He is a witness to this, and he is assisting us in the investigation,” said Sanchez.
FHP is urging the public to come forward if they’ve seen a white car with bullet holes.
“We’re trying to piece the puzzle together,” Sanchez said.
