Miami Police are investigating a shooting in Brickell early Monday that left one person injured after residents reported hearing dozens of gunshots.
It was around 5 a.m. when officers received calls in the area of S. Miami Avenue and 10th Street of reported gunshots heard.
Multiple residents said they woke up to gunfire coming from the Seacoast Bank parking lot on Southwest 12th Street.
"It was a shootout, literally a shootout, not up in the air, at people," said Joe Hernandez, who lives on the 31st floor of a building near the parking lot.

Hernandez said he heard shouting around the same time as the gunfire.
"You could tell it was ladies, they were screaming and there was an argument in the parking lot," Hernandez said. "But then a couple of minutes later, just like 40 rounds went off, 40 rounds of bullets. I mean it sounded like machine guns, but they weren't, they were just guns, multiple guns. And that's why a lot of the cars are shot up in there."

Witness video showed several people in the parking lot. Some got into an SUV that eventually drove away, while others took off on foot.
Officers responded and were canvassing the area. Detectives at one point zeroed in on a yellow Lamborghini that had bullet holes in its front windshield and a shattered driver's side window.
"It's chaos, you know, you go crazy in your deep sleep before 5 a.m. and all this is going on, it flipped me out, I've been here seven years, I've never seen anything like that," Hernandez said.
Police said a 22-year-old man who was shot in the foot was later found at a local hospital.
The investigation is ongoing.
