Harden is the second teenager to face felony charges as an adult after the shooting on Nov. 30, along Southwest 138 Court, near 262 Lane.

On Tuesday afternoon, Miami-Dade inmate records showed India Comer, 17, was at the Turner Guilford Correctional Center. Harden and Cordarrius Lee, 21, were at the Metro West Detention Center.

According to deputies, the evidence in the case includes a ShotSpotter record of 15 shots fired, 10 spent 9mm bullet casings, surveillance video, sized weapons, and cell phone records.

According to deputies, the surveillance video recorded someone shouting before the shooting, “That’s Big B! Let’s Glock ... him!” The two cousins ran. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel found the one wounded near Southwest 262 Street and took him to Jackson South Medical Center.

Deputies arrested Lee and corrections booked him on Dec. 12 after raiding a townhome at Southwest 138 Court, near 264 Street, and finding two firearms and ammunition, according to deputies.

Records show deputies re-arrested Comer and Lee on Jan. 31 after a detective received a report from The National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, or NIBIN, database.

Miami-Dade prosecutors filed a case against Lee on Feb. 1. Comer’s juvenile court case was filed in adult court on March 31 and Harden’s case on Thursday.

Harden, Comer, and Lee each faced charges of first-degree attempted murder with a weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm. Comer and Lee also faced a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Comer has a warrant case for possession of marijuana. Lee has another warrant case for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, drug trafficking, and marijuana possession with intent to sell.

Hernandez is presiding over the three cases related to the shooting in Naranja. Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
