Police Investigating Double Shooting in South Miami

Police were investigating a double shooting in South Miami on Thursday evening. It happened around 7:30 p.m. near Murray Park in the 5800 block of Southwest 67th Street.

Two victims were airlifted to the hospital and were listed in stable condition.

Family members of the victims told NBC 6 that Eljay Reed and Marcus Evans, both 19, were hanging out outside when suddenly they were ambushed with bullets.

Police said the suspects, who were riding bikes, rolled up onto a group of people, started firing and then rode off. Witnesses said the same thing.

"He came running in the house, the one who got shot, and I asked what happened and he said two boys rolled up on bikes and start shooting," a witness said.

"I was walking to the park and I heard the gunshots," another witness added.

Police taped off the scene and scoured the area for clues, although the victims may know the guys who shot them, according to investigators.
