The injured men were taken as trauma alerts to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. One was in critical condition and the other two were stable.

"We do believe that the victims know the subject, therefore we believe that this is an isolated incident," Public Information Officer Samantha Choon said.

Neighbor's surveillance video captured what appears to be three men arguing early in the morning. In it, one can be seen falling to the ground, and soon after, another runs away.

"They start fighting," a woman said as she shared the video on her phone. "I'm sorry, I'm shaking. It's a lot."

Video from the scene shows police tape around a house with two efficiencies in the back. Clothes and shoes could still be seen in the driveway, near a puddle of blood.

The investigation also appeared to center around a black SUV on the grass that was later towed from the property.

Five people were taken out of the home for questioning. Deputies said they are not subjects in the investigation.

"This is bad right now. I’ve never seen it this bad," neighbor Glenn Zimmerman said.

But he said he wasn't shocked to hear of the crime.

"This isn’t a surprise to me because the police have been there almost every other day it seems like for the last 6 or 8 months," he said. "I had told my wife that something bad was going to happen there and it did."

Detectives are now waiting for the victims to be released so they can get more information on the suspect and what led to the attack.

"It’s just a shame because it’s affecting the neighborhood. A lot of people have been complaining about it, but I don’t know, maybe finally they’ll do something," Zimmerman said.

Choon asked anyone with information or surveillance footage to contact authorities or Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 305-471-8477.
