Police investigations are underway in Miami Gardens after two separate shootings left four people injured.
Miami Gardens Police responded to the area of Northwest 199th Street and Seventh Avenue on Monday, just after 2 a.m., when four men reportedly pulled up in a dark SUV, exited the car and started shooting before taking off.
Footage from the scene showed several evidence markers on the street, along with K-9 units sniffing out the vicinity for more evidence.
One woman who lives on the street said she thought she was in a war zone.
“[I heard] I think at least 20 [gunshots],” she said. “It sound like [a back and forth]. It was very scary. The first thing I did was go to the floor.”
Two women were allegedly rushed to Aventura hospital as a trauma alert. A third victim was also involved in this incident.
Meanwhile, in another area of Miami Gardens, police responded to another shooting in the area of Northwest 211th Street and 38th Avenue where one person was shot and taken to the hospital.
Video footage from around 1 a.m. Monday showed an active police scene in the neighborhood. About half a dozen police vehicles were on the scene as a black SUV was towed away.
According to police, the gunshot victim was inside the black SUV at the time of the drive-by shooting. The shooter from the drive-by car reportedly fired several shots.
One victim was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital where their condition is unknown.
As these investigations remain active, it is unclear whether this separate shootings are connected.
