OPA-LOCKA, Fla. — A police investigation is underway Tuesday morning inside a gated community in Opa-locka.

Local 10 News was outside The Mirage at Sailboat Cove, at the corner of Northwest 17th Avenue and 143rd Street, after police responded to the area.

Police did not immediately disclose why they responded to the area, but there were several police cars about a quarter of a mile back from the main road, along with a tow truck about a block away from the scene near other police vehicles.

Residents in the area told Local 10 News they were unsure about what occurred or if anyone was injured.

They did say, however, that there’s been a history of incidents in the area, including the shooting of an Uber driver back in July of 2024.
