Miami-Dade Police spokesperson Det. Andre Martin said several dozen rounds were fired and that each victim was shot multiple times.

Witnesses reported hearing heavy gunfire.

"I heard some shooting. It sounded like firecrackers. It was like very fast," John Feliciano said. "They stopped like for two or three seconds then they reloaded again and that’s when they started again with the shooting."

The three victims were taken to the hospital, where they were in critical condition, according to police. Their identiies weren't released.

“Disturbing. Nearing the holidays, this is not an incident that any person, any family should be dealing with," Martin said.

Authorities say a gun was recovered in the victim’s vehicle.
