Miami police are investigating an early-morning shooting in Little Havana that authorities said may have stemmed from a domestic incident.
MIAMI, FL — Two people were killed and another person was injured in an early-morning shooting in Miami, police said, as investigators worked to determine what led to the violence and whether it was connected to a domestic situation.
Miami police officers responded at about 6:30 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting near Northwest 17th Street and Third Avenue, according to police information reported by NBC 6 South Florida. The area is in or near Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. Authorities confirmed two deaths and one injury in connection with the shooting.
Police described the case as possibly domestic-related, but officials had not publicly detailed the relationships among the people involved or explained what happened before the gunfire. The available information did not establish a motive, and investigators had not released a full sequence of events.
The identities of the two people who died were not immediately available in the reporting reviewed Sunday. Police also had not released the identity of the injured person or a verified update on that person’s condition. Authorities generally withhold the names of people killed until relatives have been notified.
Information about who fired the shots also remained limited. Police had not publicly identified a suspect in the material available for this report, and it was not clear whether investigators were searching for another person in connection with the shooting. No arrest or criminal charge had been announced in the reporting reviewed.
The description of the shooting as possibly domestic-related remained preliminary. Investigators were still working to establish the circumstances and determine the relationships, if any, among the people involved. Police had not released evidence establishing that a domestic dispute caused the shooting.
The shooting prompted a police response to the area as detectives began gathering evidence and trying to determine how the incident unfolded. No additional verified details about the weapon, the number of shots fired or events immediately before the shooting were available. Those details remain part of the continuing investigation.
The deaths leave investigators with several unanswered questions, including what led to the shooting and whether anyone else was involved. Miami police had not announced additional findings by the latest available update, and authorities continued to investigate the case.
