MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — One of the two teenagers charged in a southwest Miami-Dade County shooting that authorities say occurred earlier his year has pled guilty.

The shooting happened on Feb. 18 in the area of Southwest 76th Street and 152nd Avenue.

Dashcam video released by officials shows a black Honda Civic that investigators said contained then-16-year-old Adrian Negron Vega and 17-year-old Camilo Buritica.

The video shows two other teens outside of the vehicle, and detectives said there was some kind of argument between the suspects and the victims.

As the two teenagers turned to walk away, a gun is seen sticking out of the passenger window and authorities said several shots were fired.

They said one of the teens was struck in the shoulder and ankle, and remains hospitalized in stable condition.

The alleged shooter, Negron Vega, is being charged as an adult with attempted murder.

Investigators said Buritica was behind the wheel of that Honda Civic.

He faced a judge on Wednesday at the Miami-Dade Children’s Courthouse and pled guilty to a felony charge of accessory after the fact.

Buritica faces up to 15 years in a state prison.
