The shooting was reported just after 10 p.m. Wednesday in the area of West 12th Avenue and West 51st Street.
Hialeah police Sgt. Jose Torres said after receiving information of the victim’s location, Poey-Gomez fired a gun multiple times into a car, striking both victims.
The shooting appears to be retaliation over ongoing feud between Poey-Gomez and a 16-year-old boy, Torres said.
Police said he and an 18-year-old woman suffered multiple gunshot wounds and drove themselves to Mount Sinai Medical Center’s emergency room in Hialeah.
The fire department said the woman suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and leg and the boy was shot in the arm.
Both teens were alert and conscious when they went to the hospital, first responders said. They were later airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.
Torres confirmed that both victims are listed in stable condition.
Police said Poey-Gomez is facing 2 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
