NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A fatal shooting has prompted a significant police presence, closing off a street in Northwest Miami-Dade for hours.
Miami-Dade Police officers were on the scene at Northwest 27th Avenue near 119th Street canvassing the area and inspecting a white vehicle on the road that had since been covered with a yellow tarp as a woman was dead inside.
“Something happened at the club, I just came here to pick up my daughter,” said a bystander. “So, the gun violence has to stop. I mean, people, innocent people are getting killed.”
Live video footage displayed the vehicle, which was visibly riddled with bullet holes, parked in front of Club ClimaXXX. Police said several people got into a heated dispute inside of the club which continued outside in the parking.
The shooting allegedly occurred on Northwest 27th Avenue near 119th Street after, officials said, someone shot at the car, leading the driver to flee the scene.
“An armed security guard that worked for the establishment attempted to diffuse the situation as it’s his job,” said a police official. “A female involved in the altercation entered into the rear seat of a nearby vehicle, produced a firearm and fired a shot at the security guard. The security guard then returned fire striking the female.”
According to Miami-Dade Police officials, a female passenger in the back seat was shot multiple times. The white vehicles came to a stop at Northwest 103rd Street and 27th Avenue, where the woman tragically succumbed to her injuries. Brenda Dawson said it was her daughter.
“I got a call early this morning around 4 o’clock from my niece and she told me that my daughter was shot,” said Dawson.
