Man dead, another hospitalized in critical condition following NWMD shooting; suspect arrested
NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE — Police have arrested a man they said was responsible for a double shooting that left one man dead and another hospitalized in critical condition on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday, the Miami-Dade Police Department identified the deceased as 33-year-old Michael Jack Bernard.
Additionally, MDPD announced that they had arrested the shooter — 32-year-old Lekambrick Aljenard Hanna — and charged him with one count of second-degree murder and another for attempted murder.
The double shooting occurred just 20 minutes away from an apparent unrelated shooting at the Vistas Shopping Center, where another man is in stable but critical condition.
According to Miami-Dade Police Det. Andre Martin, officers were called to the area of NW 143rd Street and 16th Court around 12:19 p.m., where they found two men who had been shot. One of those men died at the scene while the other was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Martin said that two people have been detained in relation to this shooting.
"At this point in the investigation, there is reason to believe that the victims and the person detained may know each other, but then again, those facts will need to be confirmed through the investigation," Martin said.
This wasn't Hanna's first run-in with the law. Last May, he was accused of stealing a Miami-Dade fire truck and leading police on a chase that ended when he was arrested in Palm Beach County.
