MIAMI (WSVN) - Two people have died and one was hospitalized after, police said, they were shot in Miami.
Miami Police arrived at one of the scenes, located at Northwest 55th Street and 10th Avenue, Tuesday afternoon.
7News cameras captured a silver sedan at the scene that was damaged. A tarp covered the driver’s side window and the left rear passenger window and door was riddled with bullets.
The second scene was just blocks away, at the Miami Police North Station at Northwest 62nd Street and 11th Avenue.
“Tell us about the fact that one of these scenes was literally at the doorstep of the Miami Police substation,” the reporter said.
“Correct. It’s very disturbing, I mean this scene, one of them right outside our North Station,” said Miami Police Capt. Freddie Cruz.
According to police, one of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene and the other victim died at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The third victim is listed in stable condition.
“This happened in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon,” said Cruz. “This is a moment where we’re asking the community, please, if you saw something, you know something, come forward, help us put the person or persons responsible for this vicious, violent crime behind bars.”
Neighbors were shocked to hear the gunshots in what they say is a quiet neighborhood.
“It’s a quiet neighborhood. Quiet everyday,” said Altenese Mckay, a 15-year resident of the area.
She said that at first, she thought the gunfire were sounds of fireworks.
“When I came out, all I see is a car stopped and the man was slumped over,” said Mckay.
Another resident, Goddess Kimbrough, has also lived in the area for 15 years and said she heard the gunfire while she was on a call.
“I knew the difference between the rapid gunfire and firecracker,” said Kimbrough.
Police have not given a description of any suspect or suspects.
An investigation is underway.
