Five injured in North Miami drive-by shooting

MIAMI - A drive-by shooting in North Miami injured five people late Wednesday night.

"It sounded like the room was shaking, like a constant hit, like pow pow pow!" said a woman who lives nearby.

The shooting happened near NW 9th Avenue and 131st Street shortly after 11 p.m.

"Probably around 11:15 (p.m.) I just heard maybe like 20 to 30 bullets going off, like just back to back," she said.

She said she then heard shouting and the police and paramedics showed up minutes later.

"After about 10 minutes the police showed up. They blocked it off and started taking people to the hospital, it was crazy," she said.

Detectives said five people suffered non-life threatening injuries.

What led to the shooting is under investigation. 

New Ring camera video obtained by CBS4 shows an ambulance on scene late Wednesday night.

Investigators looked at the car that had two bullet holes in it.

We spoke with one neighbor who has lived there for 40 years and she is worried.

"It makes me afraid to go out, unless you are going to the store, I'm not going to go out of my house," said neighbor Patricia Smith. 

"You can't even go into your backyard with no problems."

"I just want to say these shootings have to stop and I am going to say that you are going to get caught and something is going to happen that will lead right to you."

North Miami police say they are not sure what lead to this incident or who was being targeted.

They do not have a description of the shooter to release to the public. 

If you can help, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305 471-TIPS.
