Man dead, 2 others hospitalized after shopping plaza shooting near Doral; 5 detained

MIAMI — One man is dead and two other men rushed to the hospital after a shooting at a Miami-Dade shopping center on Friday afternoon.

Around 1:09 p.m., Miami-Dade Police were called out to shots fired in the 7300 block of Northwest 36th Street near Doral. When officers arrived, they found three men shot. One died on scene and two others were sent to the hospital according to MDPD Det. Andre Martin.

One of the men was airlifted to the hospital and the other was brought in by ground transport. Their conditions are currently unknown at this time.

Martin says police detained five men and are being questioned.  The shooting has not been confirmed. He also said the "hectic scene" was an isolated incident stemming from a dispute in the back of the shopping center that turned physical. Officers stopped a white SUV at the scene, which held those who were eventually detained.

"It could have been a very dangerous situation," Martin said.

The relationship between those detained and those injured and killed is not known at this time.

The block on NW 36th Street that the shopping center occupies was temporarily blocked off for the investigation, but Martin said businesses are allowed to remain open.

As MDPD's Homicide Bureau investigates, Martin also told reporters that at least two guns were recovered at the scene. Other details relating to the circumstances of the shooting are still under investigation.
