14-year-old injured after fist fight turns into shooting in Miami-Dade: deputies
A 14-year-old boy was shot Saturday evening after a fist fight spiraled out of control near Miami International Airport, deputies say. Three days later, as the young boy recovers, a 17-year-old was caught and charged for the alleged shooting. Around 5 p.m. Saturday, Adrian Emmanuel Corrales, 17, and the 14-year-old planned a scuffle at a shopping plaza in the Fontainbleau neighborhood, 8000 block of Northwest Seventh Street, an arrest report details. The younger teen arrived in a car with three other males, whose ages were not revealed, while Corrales walked alone. Corrales' and the teen have a checkered history, the report describing it as '...[the pair] are known to each other as they have had personal issues in the past.' As the two approached each other, Corrales pulled out a gun and shot the unarmed 14-year-old two times — hitting him once in the chest and once in the left leg. Corrales ran off shortly after. The young teen was rushed to Jackson West Medical Center, before being transferred to Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center. He remains in critical but stable condition. Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office detectives tracked down Corrales in the ensuing days of the shooting by sifting through surveillance footage. On Tuesday morning, Detective Angel Alvarez arrested Corrales and took him to the Juvenile Assessment Center. It is unclear if Corrales remained at the center Tuesday night. He was charged with attempted second degree murder with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a minor.

LCSO: Rickards student arrested for Instagram mass shooting threat
