Chaotic scene near Miami’s Bayside on Biscayne after gunfire broke out

MIAMI, Fla. – Police found a person and vehicle hit by bullets and found a chaotic scene in Miami’s Bayside Marketplace on Christmas night after responding to reports of gunfire

Two shootings took place about an hour apart, and Miami police are still investigating whether the gunfire was related.

It all started around 10:30 pm, near the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 2nd Street in downtown Miami. Cell phone videos of residents in boulevard apartment buildings showed people scattering after hearing the sounds of gunfire.

Detectives told Local 10 that a woman had been abraded by a bullet, but refused treatment.

One person was detained on the spot, but their possible involvement is still unclear.

While investigating that shooting, officers responded to a second shooting just a block south about an hour later.

Police later detained a man who had been shot in the leg.

Crime scene detectives returned to the scene just after sunrise and placed at least a dozen evidence markers on the ground. The scene was cleared just before 9am on Saturday.

At this point, investigators have yet to say whether both shootings are related.
