MIAMI (WSVN) - A man was killed and a 17-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after, police said, shots rang out in different parts of Miami Gardens, just minutes apart.
7News cameras caught bullet casings near a car riddled with nearly 10 bullet holes in the driver’s side door, at a home near Northwest 207th Street, Sunday.
Officials said the teen came under fire just after 4 p.m. and was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in unknown condition.
The bullet-riddled sedan was later towed from the scene.
About four miles away, Miami Gardens Police units responded to a shopping plaza near Northwest 27th Avenue and 183rd Street.
“For count one, there’s probable cause for second-degree murder. It’s no bonds,” said Judge Mindy S. Glazer during Buttler’s court appearance.
“I’m Miami British. I’m British. They call me British over here,” said Buttler.
Accused killer Radcliffe Buttler faced a judge and put on a show in court Monday, after he was arrested for shooting and killing O’Neill Anderson in front of his barber shop Love Cuts.
“Well, I can speak Jamaican,” said Buttler. “I’m an actor, so I’m a writer of James Bond, 007.”
“He was a type of person that was a giver,” said Malcom Staples, the victim’s brother. “He loved a lot of people here. Anyone who came and wanted help, whether he had a little or had a lot, he would help them.”
Video captured witnesses holding Buttler down until police arrived.
Once they arrived, detectives closed off the bulk of the parking lot for hours as crime scene investigators worked the case.
“Do not make any statements regarding what happened to anyone expect for your lawyer in a private setting,” said Buttler’s attorney in court.
Staples said his brother was in business at Love Cuts for 24 years.
Police have not said whether the shootings are connected. As one community leaves flowers, a family is grieving.
“Trying to stay strong,” said Staples. “Emotionally, at different times but I have to try to stay strong for the family.”
Anderson leaves behind a wife and two children.
The girl’s condition is unknown.
