Authorities in Miami-Dade are investigating a fatal shooting that targeted the occupants of a black SUV Saturday.
Deputies responded to the shooting scene near Northeast 141st Street and Second Court in Biscayne Gardens north of Downtown Miami early Saturday morning.
“Multiple shooters” opened fire at a black Ford Explorer, killing a woman and hurting two children, an 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.
“The preliminary information has indicated that several shooters approached the vehicle, striking all three victims,” a deputy said.
The children were shot several times and were hospitalized in critical condition.
No arrests were made in connection to the shooting. Local media outlets reported that two other cars were towed at the scene.
“This is senseless. There is no reason, no excuse, no justification as to why this has to take place,” a deputy said.
“Our detectives are going to work day and night and we will find out who these individuals are, and we are going to make sure that they are arrested, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
