In December, Carnell Williams-Thomas – a 2-year-old boy – was outside playing with his new scooter before his life was tragically cut short. In February, Miami-Dade police continue the search for the person responsible in the fatal shooting.
The shooting occurred at 214 Street and SW 114 Court on Dec. 15.
Miami-Dade Police Department Sgt. Carlos Rosario said officers responded to reports of a male shot at 6:19 p.m.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a 2-year-old boy was shot. Carnell was airlifted to Kendall Regional Medical Center but was declared dead.
In front of cameras at the Miami-Dade police headquarters, Carnell’s mom, Dorothy, was holding a stuffed bear she was given at the hospital the night of her son's death.
“Somebody knows something,” she said, fighting back tears on Dec. 28. “I need them to say something. They took my baby.”
