At least 20 people shot, 2 killed outside Northwest Miami-Dade banquet hall
Police: We believe this was a targeted attack of gun violence.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Miami-Dade police are investigating a deadly mass shooting that left more than 20 people injured in what detectives described as a “targeted act of violence.”
Authorities said two people have died as a result of their injuries.
“This is a despicable act of gun violence,” said Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez. “A cowardly act.”
According to police, the shooting took place after a birthday party for a local rapper.
Victims were rushed to several hospitals in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, some in their personal vehicles, according to police.
Ramirez said the El Mula Banquet Hall, located at 7630 Northwest 186th Street, was rented out for a concert Saturday into Sunday morning.
According to police, the music stopped just after midnight and patrons were standing outside when a white Nissan Pathfinder SUV pulled up and three subjects stepped out with assault rifles and handguns and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd.
