MIAMI — An Uber driver was shot and a passenger was possibly grazed by a bullet Friday night in Miami’s Buena Vista West neighborhood, police said.

According to Miami police, a ShotSpotter alert was detected near Northwest Second Avenue and 38th Street around 10 p.m.

Investigators said the driver was struck in the shoulder while transporting a passenger.

They said despite being wounded, the driver continued north and called police from the area of Northwest Fifth Avenue and 46th Street.

Miami Fire Rescue medics transported both the driver and passenger to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, according to police. The passenger may have suffered a graze wound, they said.

While responding to the shooting, a Miami police sergeant was involved in a separate crash after another vehicle ran a stop sign, authorities confirmed.

Police said the sergeant’s patrol vehicle overturned in the collision. The sergeant was not seriously injured but was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Authorities have not released information about a suspect or what may have led to the shooting.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
