The shooting occurred shortly before 6 a.m. near the intersection of Northeast 151 Street and Northeast Sixth Avenue, west of North Miami Beach. Deputies cordoned off the area with crime scene tape, blocking the entrance to the complex.

Sondrea Broomfield, a nearby resident, expressed concern. “I hope they do find out who did it,” she said, voicing the fears of many in the community shaken by the violence.

Detective Joseph R. Peguero Rivera of M-DSO urged anyone with video or information about the incident to come forward. “We need the community’s help to bring this case to a resolution,” he stated during a press briefing.

Hours after the shooting, visible remnants of the event—blood on the ground and debris scattered about—remained a stark reminder of the morning’s violence.
