Double Shooting Reported at King Carter's Apartment: MDPD

Miami-Dade Police are investigating a shooting that left multiple people injured Monday evening, and it's not the first time they've investigated a shooting at the apartment complex.

It happened just before 7:30 p.m. in the 1200 block of Northwest 103rd Lane.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said they transported multiple victims to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Investigators said a man and woman got into an argument with another man and woman, when things escalated and bullets started flying. Witnesses described hearing 10-20 gunshots.

23-year-old Jessica Jean and 27-year-old Calvin Wright were both shot, while a third victim was injured by glass, according to police.

Police said Jean was shot in the head and Wright was shot in the chest and the arm.

Investigators said the other male and female involved were seen fleeing from the scene and they are wanted by police.

MDPD confirmed Monday's shooting happened at the same building where King Carter, 6, used to live. Carter was shot and killed during a drive-by in February while he was playing outside near his home.

His father told NBC 6 after Monday's shooting: "I heard every shot. It reminded me of three months ago."

Three teens have been charged in Carter's shooting death, along with one of the teens' mothers, who's accused of tampering with evidence.
