MIAMI — Miami police are investigating after a person was shot multiple times in the Liberty City neighborhood late Monday morning.
According to the Miami Police Department, officers were at the scene in the area of Northwest 15th Avenue and 61st Street and had established a perimeter as they searched for a possible suspect, who was later detained.
A spokesperson for Miami Fire Rescue said that the victim was being taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.
Miami police identified the shooting victim as a male, though they did not specify his age.
Authorities said the shooting appeared to stem from some sort of a disturbance between two people.
The police activity led the nearby Charles R Drew K-8 Center to be put on “secure lockdown” status, according to Miami-Dade County Public Schools. It was lifted during the noon hour.
