The incident comes less than 48 hours after another shooting in South Beach left one man dead and another injured Friday night.
It also comes as students and Miami-Dade County leaders hoped to kick off the weekend with a 24-hour ceasefire along with a free hip-hop concert called the People Matter Fest to keep kids off the streets.
Although MBPD has not released the identities of the victims or the suspects, it did confirm that this was a targeted and isolated incident.
