MIAMI (WSVN) - Gunfire tore through a Miami neighborhood, sending a teenager to the hospital and triggering an investigations across three crime scenes, police said.

City of Miami Police officers responded to the area of Southwest Ninth Street and 10th Avenue after receiving reports of shots fired, at around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

“OK, I’m arriving at 990 Southwest Ninth Street in reference to the juvenile that was shot,” an officer said in radio transmissions.

At this scene, police found a group of juveniles in the area who they believe to be subjects in the shooting.

When approached by officers, the juveniles fled the scene in multiple directions. Some escaped on foot, on bikes and even jumped the walls of nearby homes.

“One bailed. I’m going to go after the one with the hoodie,” an officer said in radio transmissions.

Police managed to catch up with some of the subjects and take them into custody.

“Clear. Subject detained. Subject detained. Black hoodie, black pants, black bike, white male,” an officer said in radio transmissions.

“I got one as well, and I also have a firearm at one of these [inaudible] 16th Road and Ninth Avenue,” radioed another officer.

It’s unclear how many people were a part of the group and how many of them were detained.

Officers eventually ended up at a second scene about a mile and a half away from where the teen was shot, in the area of Southwest 22nd Road and Ninth Avenue.

Officials recovered a gun that appeared to have been tossed into the swimming pool of a home.

Video shows police retrieving the gun, taking photos and examining it as part of their investigation.

After further investigation, detectives determined the teen may have been shot at a third location about 15 minutes away, near the 2200 block of Northwest 23rd Street. The connection between each of these locations remains unclear.

Police said the victim self-transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he continues to recover.

7News spoke with one neighbor in Spanish, who said the area is typically very quiet, and they were surprised by all the police activity.

“It’s been three years since we’ve been parking here, and I’ve never seen a problem. Now that I came to get my car and see all of this here, it’s strange because it was always calm here,” a man said.

Police continue to investigate.
