Delva said they aren't sure what led to the shooting but they're looking into every possibility, including road rage.
“The incident did happen at a very busy time of the day. It’s football Sunday, a Sunday evening, where lots of people are out trying to enjoy the night with their families and their loved ones," Delva said. "It’s unfortunate we have to deal with this type of violence on the streets."
The Miami-Dade Homicide Bureau is leading the investigation.
