Miami police swarm neighborhood after double shooting
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.

ACLU sues to block ICE raids in Southern California, alleging constitutional violations
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of California has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding an immediate halt to what it describes as unlawful immigration raids across the Los Angeles area targeting migrants with "brown skin." The non-profit accuses Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of carrying out unconstitutional raids and then keeping migrants in inhumane conditions without beds and deprived of food and legal counsel. Homeland Security has denied all the claims in the lawsuit, saying that any accusations of racial profiling are "disgusting and categorically false." ICE has carried out sweeping raids since June 6, arresting around 1,500 immigrants, including Latino day laborers, car wash workers, farmworkers and vendors – all in a bid to meet certain arrest quotas, the habeas petition states. Ice Flips Script On Los Angeles Mayor After Telling Authorities To 'Go Home' "The raids in this district follow a common, systematic pattern. Individuals with brown skin are approached or pulled aside by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a show of force and made to answer questions about who they are and where they are from," the lawsuit reads. "If they hesitate, attempt to leave, or do not answer the questions to the satisfaction of the agents, they are detained, sometimes tackled, handcuffed, and/or taken into custody. In these interactions, agents typically have no prior information about the individual and no warrant of any kind." Read On The Fox News App The lawsuit accuses the federal government of keeping detainees at an overcrowded holding facility, referred to as "B-18," inside windowless rooms that are extremely cramped. "In these dungeon-like facilities, conditions are deplorable and unconstitutional," the lawsuit reads. La Mayor Bass Claims Immigration Enforcement Creating Ghost Town Effect Comparable To Covid Lockdowns As well as seeking to block the raids, the suit demands that ICE refrain from using the B-18 center, as it is supposed to be a short-term ICE processing site, and that the federal government be held legally accountable for systemic racial profiling and due process violations. The defendants include Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Attorney General Pam Bondi and multiple regional ICE, CBP, and FBI officials operating in Los Angeles. The lawsuit was filed by a coalition of individual immigrants and immigrant advocacy organizations, led by the ACLU and the non-profit Public Counsel as well as other legal partners. Los Angeles has become a battleground in resisting President Donald Trump's election promise of carrying out the largest deportation raids in U.S. history. Protests in the City of Angels last month descended into riots as masked agitators burned driverless cars, damaged other property and threw rocks at moving law enforcement vehicles. The lawsuit comes as an estimated 150 to 200 anti-ICE protesters shut down the Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon. The bridge links downtown Los Angeles and Boyle Heights early. The protesters carried signs with messages reading: "Sick of ICE!" and "Eviction moratorium now!" while others chanted "ICE out of L.A." "This bridge has been the entry to Boyle Heights to kidnap community members and take them who knows where," organizer Christian Alcaraz told Fox 11. The protest was one of several rallies in the county on Tuesday as part of a day of action against immigration raids. In Koreatown, another rally was held. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin refuted the claims made in the lawsuit. "Any claims that individuals have been 'targeted' by law enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically false," she told Fox 11 via a statement on Wednesday, adding that the lawsuit's claims were "garbage." She also denied the claims about poor conditions at ICE facilities. "Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false," McLaughlin said. "In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most US prisons that hold actual US citizens. All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with lawyers and their family members."Original article source: ACLU sues to block ICE raids in Southern California, alleging constitutional violations

How long will "Diddy" be in prison? Here's what to know about his expected sentencing.
Sean "Diddy" Combs is awaiting sentencing after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in his federal trial on Wednesday. Combs had also faced more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but was acquitted on those. The jury returned its full verdict on the third day of deliberations after reaching a partial verdict Tuesday and being ordered by the judge to continue deliberating. Here's what we know about the penalty the music mogul could face after his convictions. "Diddy" denied bail ahead of sentencing While Combs was acquitted of the most severe charges after a seven-week trial, Judge Arun Subramanian ordered he remain in detention while awaiting sentencing. Subramanian said he disagreed with the defense's argument that Combs' crimes shouldn't trigger mandatory detention. Prosecutors told the judge Wednesday that Combs is wealthy and capable of fleeing. Marc Agnifilo, Combs' attorney, declined to comment on the bail denial after leaving court on Wednesday, saying "a lot of these things are still in process." When is "Diddy's" sentencing? Subramanian proposed a sentencing date of Oct. 3, 2025. A remote hearing has been set for Tuesday, July 8, at 2 p.m. ET. During that hearing, the prosecutors, defense and judge will discuss the sentencing schedule. Both prosecutors and defense have agreed to an expedited sentencing and will work toward that goal. How long could "Diddy's" sentence be? Each count of transportation to engage in prostitution carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, meaning Combs could potentially face up to 20 years in prison. However, CBS News contributor Jessica Levinson said it was unlikely his sentence would be that harsh. "It sounds like the prosecution is going to be arguing for something potentially over the midline, over five years," Levinson said. Prosecutors previously said their preliminary calculations indicate Combs should get at least 51 to 63 months, or roughly four to five years, in prison on the two convictions. Meanwhile, the defense suggested a range of 21 to 27 months. Levinson said that it is also hard to gauge the potential sentence because federal judges have "a lot of discretion" when it comes to sentencing. Combs will also receive a credit for time served since his arrest in September. "It's absolutely not outside of the realm of possibility that there will be some prison time," Levinson said. "I do not think that we will see double digit years in prison." contributed to this report.
