The deadly mass shooting at a party in Overtown has claimed a second life, a 17-year-old high school football player.

Anthony Smith died late last night at Jackson Memorial Hospital, after a four days of operations for a gunshot wound in the chest, according to the Miami Herald.

Smith joins 21-year-old Michelle Coleman as the two victims of the Monday morning shooting in which over a dozen people were wounded after three gunmen opened fire at a birthday party.

Coleman, an FAMU student, was pronounced dead Tuesday after she was hit with three bullets from the gunmen, who police say are still at large. Smith was a student at Booker T. Washington Senior High School.

At least one assault rifle was used in the shooting, an AK-47, as well as five pistols, according to police. Shots were fired into the crowd of hundreds from two seperate directions. Another wounded man is still in critical condition. One woman was also struck by a car in the mad scramble to flee the scene.
