A shooting in a North Miami neighborhood left three people dead and one person in custody Monday afternoon, police said.
Officers responded just after 4:15 p.m. to the area of Northeast 123rd Street and 5th Avenue outside of an apartment complex, where they found the victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Investigators said the victims were all in between their mid-30s to 50 years old. Officials have not released their identities, but one woman at the scene said they were all her family members — her uncle and two cousins.
"All I know it was some neighbors or something dispute," Cassandra Rivera said. "That’s as much as I know."

"All indications appear to be that there was one firearm involved. We have crime scene behind me, detectives behind me. If there are more weapons involved I’m sure we’ll discover that soon," said Major Kessler Brooks of the North Miami Police Department. "It was a busy residential area with kids and everyone around. We thank God it wasn’t worse."
Police said a person, believed to be the shooter, was in custody. Further information was not available.
What led to the shooting was under investigation.
