Doral police Detective Pedro Corpas said three men and two women were leaving the pool hall when they were confronted by a man who got into an argument with one of the three men. The dispute escalated into a fist fight and a second man joined in, pulling a gun and punching one of the victims.

The victims were able to get away in separate cars, but as they drove away, they heard several gunshots, Corpas said.

As they were about to get on the Palmetto Expressway, a black car pulled alongside them. More shots were fired, Corpas said.

The victims' cars sped away in different directions and the black car followed one of them onto the highway, Corpas said.

More shots were fired from the black car, striking one of the cars, before the black car sped away, Corpas said.

The victims, who weren't injured, told police that they recognized the occupants of the black car from the fight at the pool hall.

Police are trying to identify the two men captured on surveillance video prior to the altercation. Anyone who recognizes the men is asked to call Corpas at 305-593-6699.
