One of the suspects, later identified as 18-year-old Alex Bryant, was charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery, an arrest report said.
Police said they're still searching for the two suspects and investigating what led up to the shooting.
"This appears to be an altercation amongst four to five people that happened to occur at the commercial establishment, it has nothing to do with the mall, there was no type of criminal activity that was occurring towards the mall, there was no robbery, there was no type of shooting toward any of the patrons, it just happened to occur on the property of the mall," Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said.
