Cellphone video captured the moment an SUV drove into a crowd before a 34-year-old woman was shot in Brickell early Sunday morning.
The incident occurred at around 5 a.m. Sunday near the area of 12th Street and South Miami Avenue.
The video obtained by NBC6 shows people hitting and kicking and throwing bottles and rocks at a red SUV moments before it plowed through the crowd. Before the SUV takes off, a man in a black shirt is seen running up to the SUV and firing a gunshot.

This is the third shooting to happen in the immediate area in less than two months. A man who lives across the street from where the shooting occurred told NBC6 he is very worried about this uptick in gun violence.
"We’re getting very concerned right now and we’re wondering why is it happening? Where is it coming from?" the man said. "Myself and my wife are definitely very concerned. We hear the police sirens all the time. I have a feeling that we're not as safe or secure in this area."

On Aug. 28, a man was shot in the foot in that same parking lot, and then on Oct.16, cellphone video captured the sound of gunshots in the area.
A City of Miami Police spokesperson said the circumstances surrounding what led up to the shooting of the woman remain under investigation.
The recent violence is forcing city officials to hold an emergency meeting Wednesday afternoon, where they're expected to hear residents voice their concerns.
"There's a number of people concerned, and even just chatter amongst the other residents has been that there needs to be a solution and help take action and see what we can do," said Rachel Samson, who lives in the area.
