Miami police swarm neighborhood after double shooting
Miami police swarmed a neighborhood early Thursday morning after two people were shot. It happened on 11 Street just south of the State Road 836 Expressway. A woman who lives in the area said she heard gunfire around 12:40 a.m. When she looked out the window, she said she saw a man sitting in the median with what she believes is a gunshot wound in his thigh and another person laying on the ground by a car. The woman said the man with gun walked over and pointed it the man sitting in the median. Miami police have not confirmed that information. Mauricio Castro said he too heard the gunshots. "Well,, I heard several shots, and I heard a woman yelling about the pain, but I was too sleepy, so I didn't go out, the shots simply woke me up, but I was not going to outside if it was something violent. This zone is not very safe," Castro said. Crime scene investigators cordoned off the area with yellow tape as they collected evidence. They placed several evidence markers on the ground near a white SUV marking bullet casings. The SUV had a bullet hole in its windshield. This is a developing story, check back for updated information.

Two teenagers appear in court charged with murder of ‘loving father'
Two teenage boys have appeared in court charged with the murder of a 'loving father' who was stabbed in south Wales. The boys, aged 16 and 17 – who cannot be named for legal reasons, were remanded into youth detention at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Thursday. They are charged with the murder of married father-of-one Kamran Aman, who died in Barry Road, Barry, just before midnight on Monday. The boys, who are both from Llantwit Major, appeared separately in court. Head magistrate Patricia Blackwell said: 'The charges which you face are so serious that your case must now be sent to crown court. 'You will be remanded to youth detention until your appearance at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday.' Mr Aman's family released a tribute on Wednesday evening, saying they mourned his loss with 'profound sorrow'. 'A devoted husband, a loving father, a cherished son, brother, uncle and loyal friend, Kamran was the heart of his family and loved within his community,' they said. 'Known for his generous spirit and kind heart, Kamran brought warmth and strength to everyone he met. 'His absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew him. 'As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also honour and celebrate the life he lived and the impact he made. 'May his memory be a blessing.' Detective Superintendent Mark O'Shea, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, previously said the force was not looking for anyone else in connection with Mr Aman's death.
