NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – Deputies are combing for clues after responding to a street shooting in Northwest Miami-Dade that sent a 12-year-old girl to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The street shootout occurred in the area of the 2100 block of Northwest 64th Street, early Tuesday morning, where three cars were struck, and the child was shot in the arm, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n
When deputies first arrived on scene, they discovered a young girl shot inside a silver car. Alongside her were her two young siblings who remained unharmed. Two bullet holes can be seen on the back door of the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time. So this could\u2019ve been a very different outcome,\u201d said MDSO deputy Samantha Choon.<\/p>\n
Police said the mother of the injured child had arrived home after a late shift at work with her three children in the car when bullets started flying.<\/p>\n
As the sun rose, 7News cameras captured the neighborhood where the shootout took place blocked off as evidence markers were seen on the ground with spent shell casings.<\/p>\n
Two other nearby unoccupied cars were also struck by gunfire, according to deputies. <\/p>\n
The young girl was transported to the hospital in stable condition and later released. A family member inside the home tells 7News she is now resting.<\/p>\n
Family members shared a photo of the victim who they identified as Kaylina Anice.<\/p>\n
Her godmother, Tiffany Tyson, said she believes there were two shooters. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe came outside, open the door and all we heard was gunshots. They were fighting each other, I guess,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Stevonna Pickett, a family friend, said her SUV was also hit by the gunfire. <\/p>\n
\u201cSomebody being foolish, trying to scare somebody else and you could have easily taken somebody else\u2019s life,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Marie Grimes is also one of the owners of a car that was struck. Bullet holes can be seen on Grimes\u2019 vehicle from the back windshield, on top of the car, and on the passenger side.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I heard the booms early this morning. Boom, boom, boom, I said \u2018oh my God, what\u2019s happening?\u2019 So, I peep out, but I didn\u2019t come out, and then later on by six this morning, the officers came and told me that there was an incident. They gave me the report, and they said my car was shot up,\u201d said Grimes.<\/p>\n
Grimes told 7News she recently got her car back from getting fixed on Monday from the shop, but she is grateful that the 12-year-old girl and everyone else is okay.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I was up praying early this morning for the neighborhood. I\u2019m always praying for the neighborhood, so I\u2019m just glad because this neighborhood is, you know,\u201d said Grimes. <\/p>\n
The Miami-Dade Police Department continued to investigate the scene on Tuesday morning, then later cleared the area around 7 a.m.<\/p>\n
Now, the young girl\u2019s family is hoping the shooters are caught and that the violence stops. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not fair that we have to be so scared where we live at. It was wrong and disgusting, I hope they catch the shooters that did it,\u201d said Tyson. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt just needs to stop. Stop the violence. It\u2019s not called for at all,\u201d said Pickett.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday evening, police continue to search for the shooter and are asking the public for any video to figure out the intended target.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny community members that may have seen something, may of heard something, your camera may have got it. Please let us know, please turn it in to Northside District Station,\u201d said Choon. <\/p>\n
