NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews have taken three teenagers to the hospital after they came under fire in Northwest Miami-Dade’s Brownsville neighborhood.
Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert arrived to find two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, at around 7:30 p.m., Monday.
Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the shooting in the area of Northwest 22nd Avenue and 51st Street.
Investigators said the victims were standing in the middle of the road when an unknown subject approached them and opened fire before fleeing on foot.
“This is a senseless and heinous shooting of two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old,” said MDPD detective Khristopher Welch.
Paramedics rushed the teens to Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition. One of the victims has been released and a second victim is in stable condition.
According to police, 15-year-old Wrollen Foulkes is not expected to survive his injuries.
Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo Ramirez III took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the shooting and said the department will add $5,000 to the reward fund.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said on Twitter, “Three teens were senselessly victimized by life-threatening violence before they are even old enough to obtain a driver’s license. They are not just a headline. They are our community’s children.”
7News cameras captured an active scene, as police roped off an entire block while detectives combed the area for clues.
They have not provided further details about the incident, such as the exact location where the gunman shot the teens or how many times, as they continue to investigate.
“We’re going to be asking the community, if you have any information in reference to this crime, please call 305-471-TIPS,” said Welch.
