MIAMI-DADE, Fla. – Miami-Dade detectives were investigating the shooting death of a teenage boy in Northwest Miami-Dade Friday night.
Detective Argemis Colome said officers were investigating the murder of a 16-year-old boy near the intersection of Northwest 81st Street and Northwest 14th Avenue.
Colome said detectives need help with the investigations of four shootings in seven days that involved victims who were minors.
"These are our kids," Colome said. "It could be your kid. It could be my kid -- only 16 years old."
A shooter wounded another 16-year-old boy Thursday night while in a car at a Citgo gas station at Northwest 103rd Street and Northwest 12th Avenue in the Pinewoods area. Police officers were still investigating that shooting.
