Police are investigating after a 15-year-old was shot in the lobby of the Hilton Miami Downtown hotel early Wednesday.
The incident happened inside the hotel at 1601 Biscayne Boulevard just before 2:30 a.m., Miami Police officials said.
According to police, there was a fight in the hotel's lobby and at some point, the 15-year-old was shot in the arm.
Miami Police spokesman Michael Vega said it appeared one group was having a party at the hotel when a second group showed up uninvited, and that's when the fight broke out between the two groups.
