Man shot multiple times during incident in West Little River: Miami-Dade Sheriff

Deputies said that following a shooting in West Little River on Wednesday morning, one victim was taken to the hospital. Around 8 a.m., shots were fired after an incident between the victim and the suspect, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. According to deputies, the man was shot multiple times and ended up at a petrol station on Northwest 27th Avenue. He was in stable condition when he was sent to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment. His identity remained a secret.

Investigators think the incident may have begun at a restaurant and lounge, where a second police scene was located. The victim lied about being shot during a road rage incident, according to police, who at first thought the incident was a shooting due to wrath. Detectives discovered that the victim and the suspect had an argument in the restaurant parking lot, at which point the suspect pulled out a pistol and shot the victim multiple times. The suspect fled the scene.

Gina Hernandez, a resident, said she observed the victim after he was shot and called for help. “As I approach them to see what’s going on, I notice the guy bleeding. “He’s bleeding everywhere, like dripping blood,” Hernandez explained. Witness Justin Ceus reported that he was on his way to work when he heard gunshots and witnessed the shooting. “I seen somebody shooting out of their car to another car,” Ceus recalled. “It happened so fast, I was just trying to get out of the way.” Ceus said he saw the cars speed off moments later. “I was just in awe, it was just a regular Wednesday morning,” he said. “Just very unfortunate, something to happen like this on a Wednesday, what if kids were going to school, bystanders going to work?” Deputies have not released a description of the subject or their vehicle.
