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.
