Just weeks after the Liberty City shooting in January that killed two teens and wounded seven people, by a masked man with an AK-47 burst onto the scene and ordered everyone to the ground. Another shooting in North Miami by a man who shot four people all were seriously injured.
Witnesses said that a young man pulled out a rifle and shot at the group as they stood outside a duplex at 1345 NE 127th St. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took the victims to the Ryder Trauma Center.
North Miami police spokesman Lt. Neal Cuevas said the suspect was a man in his 20s whose dreadlocks were held in a ponytail with a rubber band. Police did not find the shooter, who may have had an accomplice. Cuevas said each victim had been shot several times.
About 20 ammunition cartridges were found scattered across the duplex's courtyard, including AK-47 and pistol rounds, according to officials.
"These are weapons of war, and they don't belong on the streets of Miami or any other street in America," Mayor Manuel Diaz said.
