One teenager was shot and killed and another hospitalized after a dispute between family members turned deadly in southwest Miami-Dade early Friday morning, police said.

The incident happened shortly before 1 a.m. at a home in the 12800 block of Southwest 263rd Terrace.

Miami-Dade Police officials said the victims, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl, were wounded after a dispute between family members escalated to a shooting. Both victims were rushed to the hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.

The 18-year-old was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where police said he died from his injuries. 

The 17-year-old girl was taken to Kendall Hospital where she was in stable condition.

A car that was covered in a yellow tarp and appeared to have crashed was towed from the scene later Friday morning.

The incident is the seventh shooting in southwest Miami-Dade in the last two weeks, and the fourth involving teenagers.
