Two men were killed after a late night shooting near a middle school in Northwest Miami-Dade.

Officers responded to the scene near Northwest 82nd Avenue near Spanish Lake Park, located near Lawton Chiles Middle School, around 11:15 p.m. after reports of shots being fired in the area.

Once they arrived, police found one man dead from gun shot wounds inside of a white Mercedes-Benz vehicle that crashed nearby.

“He was in the driver side by himself and he had his chair all the way back," said Giovanni Pirri, who attempted to help the victim. "He never looked at me because I came on the right side and he was just...in the car moving kind of strange. I didn’t know what was wrong.” 

Pirri said he flagged down officers, who were helping a second man who was found shot near the school. That man was airlifted to an area hospital, where he later died.

Investigators have not released any additional information on this case, including the victim's identities or any possible suspects - adding it appears the two did not know each other.
