In the course of what witnesses claimed was a video shoot for rapper French Montana on Thursday night, several people were shot outside of a restaurant in Miami Gardens.
How many people were shot wasn’t immediately apparent. According to Detective Diana Gourgue, Miami Gardens Police verified they responded to a ShotSpotter complaint just before 8 o’clock at The Licking Miami Gardens on Northwest 27th Street.
Rappers French Montana and Rob49 might have been involved because they were filming a music video nearby, according to WFOR-TV.
According to authorities, a fight that began somewhere else eventually ended up at the restaurant where the shooting took place.
There were several injured people, but it was unclear how they were doing. Police have not released the exact number of fatalities, but at least nine individuals were shot, according to multiple witnesses who spoke to NBC 6.
Fox News reports that Miami-Dade fire rescue and paramedics went to the site and transported four of the patients to hospitals, one of whom was in a severe condition.
Rapper Ced Mogul told NBC 6 that he witnessed a robbery at a nearby KFC when he was at a video shoot there.
The shooting then progressed to The Licking, where up to nine people, including the rapper Rob49, were shot, according to Mogul.
This information has not been verified by the police. There have been no arrests.
“We believe it’s an isolated incident,” Miami Gardens police chief Delma Noel-Pratt said in a statement.
Diana Gourgue, a spokesman for the Miami Gardens police, also informed reporters on the scene that she was unable to corroborate allegations that up to 10 individuals had been injured, saying: “Right now it is just multiple victims that were injured.”
A witness told WFOR-TV that they heard 13 to15 gunshots before seeing people running from the scene.
“It was like at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots,” the witness said. “It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle. I took off running, and I was looking back, but I was like, ‘You know what? Let me just duck first, and then people started asking me, you know, ‘Can you help me?’
“When I realised people were asking for help, there was nothing you could do about it when you got shot.”
There is currently no information available from the police regarding potential suspects. Currently unknown are the whereabouts of each victim as well as Montana and Rob49.
