MIAMI (WSVN) - A man has been transported to the hospital after, police say, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet entered a Brickell Key condominium and shot him multiple times in his doorway.
City of Miami Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the Isola Building, along the 700 block of Claughton Island Drive, at around 1:50 p.m., Thursday.
“He was wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of the shooting when he confronted the resident of the Isola Building here at Brickell Key Island,” City of Miami Police spokesperson Kenia Fallat said.
According to police, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet drove onto Brickell Key, a semi-private island, went inside the building while wearing the helmet, went up to the 15th floor, found the victim standing in his doorway and fired multiple shots towards the victim’s abdomen.
Paramedics transported the victim, who is described to be in his late 20s, to Jackson Memorial Hospital in extremely critical condition.
“He was greeted by the owner of the residence of one of the apartments inside, and that is when the shooter began shooting at the resident, and it all happened at the doorway,” Fallat said. “The man left, went down the elevator with a helmet on and took off.”
Police said they do not have a description of the shooter but said he was driving a blue, newer-model SUV.
“He was all covered up and walking down the hall nice and cool with a helmet on, and you couldn’t even tell,” a witness said.
The witness sent 7News an email from building management that said an “incident” happened and asked residents to remain in their units while police investigated.
It remains unclear if the victim and gunman were known to each other.
