MEDLEY, FLA. (WSVN) - Two people were hospitalized after a shooting and stabbing happened in Medley.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Medley Police arrived at the scene near Northwest 88th Street and 87th Avenue, Tuesday afternoon.
7News cameras captured a dump truck that was parked on the scene. Police are also investigating a vehicle that was nearby.
According to police, the dump truck was in the middle of the road, which sparked a hazard. Once police arrived at the scene, they noticed that the driver of the dump truck had a single gunshot wound to the face.
When officers attempted to render aid to the driver, someone nearby flagged them and told them that another victim was suffering from a stab wound.
One of the victims was airlifted to an area hospital, while the second victim was transported by ground.
Police reported the man who was shot in the face was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital and the man that who was stabbed was taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital.
7News cameras captured the helicopter landing at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The two patients are in stable condition.
What led up to the situation is under investigation and police are asking for the public’s help.
“Right now they have the task of canvassing the area, trying to locate video to see if it captured this incident or the beginning, they’re trying to see if there were any witnesses that were in the area or that stayed around to speak to them,” said Officer Deglys Chavarria, Medley Police Department. “If someone was at the scene either before, during or sometime after, that can be helpful to the investigation, we are asking them to contact the Medley Police Department.”
