Chaotic scene near Miami’s Bayside on Biscayne after gunfire erupted

MIAMI, Fla. Police found one person and a vehicle hit by bullets and happened upon a chaotic scene in Miami’s Bayside Marketplace on Christmas Eve after responding to reports of gunshots.

Two shooting incidents took place about an hour apart and Miami police are still investigating whether the gunfire is related.

It all started around 10:30 pm near the corner of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 2nd Street in downtown Miami. On a cellphone video taken by residents in high-rise apartments on the boulevard, people were seen spreading after hearing the sounds of gunfire.

Detectives told Local 10 that one woman was grazed by a bullet but refused treatment.

One person was detained at the scene, but their possible involvement is still unclear.

While investigating the shooting, officers responded to a second shooting about an hour later, just one block south.

Police later detained a man who was shot in the leg.

Detectives from the crime scene returned to the scene just after sunrise and placed at least a dozen evidence marks on the ground. The scene was cleared just before 9 a.m. Saturday.

At this point, investigators have yet to say whether both are related to the shooting.
