MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A death investigation is underway in Miami Gardens after a woman was shot, police said.
Miami Gardens Police arrived at the scene near an apartment complex off Northwest 167th Avenue, Tuesday morning.
7Skyforce hovered over the scene, where a tarp covered the body, located outside the apartment complex.
“So, there’s a person here who is deceased. There’s a death investigation being conducted by the county and Miami Gardens,” said 7Skyforce reporter Ralph Rayburn. “There’s a sprawling apartment complex here and the police are in several areas of the parking lot.”
According to police, the woman was shot several times.
Her identity has not been disclosed.
One man told 7News that his friend heard gunshots late Monday night.
“Last night, I’m talking to a friend right now, who told me he heard like some shooting but, supposedly not a shooting, but we heard something,” Jose Maria said.
Other residents who live at the apartment complex were unaware of what happened until they stepped outside.
“I just woke up and I came downstairs and saw all these cars outside and I’m just hearing that now for the first time,” said Drew. “It’s definitely concerning. It doesn’t make you feel safe, but I guess we’ll have to see what happened.”
Detectives were seen during the afternoon walking around the apartment complex as their investigation begins.
A description of any suspects has not been released.
