SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Miami-Dade Police are investigating an armed robbery and shooting in Southwest Miami-Dade.
According to police, they responded to a call of shots fired near the McDonald’s located at Southwest 137th Avenue and 152nd Street, at around 8 a.m., Friday.
The subjects and victim fled the scene by the time police arrived, but police later received a call from the victim who said he had pulled into a nearby parking lot after he was robbed at gunpoint by a man and woman. He also gave authorities information about the vehicle in which he claimed the pair fled in.
It is unclear if the victim sustained any injuries.
Justin Rivera, one of the witnesses, said he heard at least one shot fired near the McDonald’s parking lot.
“She was the one with the gun, and she opened their car door and everything. She was yelling at them and like cursing them out,” said Rivera. “When I first heard it, I was just, like, kind of freaked out. I didn’t know what was happening at first, but then I looked by, and then I was like, ‘Oh shoot, someone has a gun!'”
Police told people to be on the lookout for the white car, which was eventually spotted near Southwest 264th Street and 132nd Avenue.
The male and female suspects were taken into custody nearby after they were found running around someone’s property. A firearm was also recovered from the scene.
“I was in my house, in my room, and I heard some yelling,” said the homeowner through a translator. “When I went down, I saw they grabbed the guy. I got frightened, of course, because they were invading my property.”
The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, said the gun was thrown into his yard by the suspects.
A shell casing found in the McDonald’s parking lot has been recovered by authorities and will be tested to determine if it is related to the armed robbery investigation.
