Police say someone in the courtyard of an apartment building at the 1300 of NW 2nd Court was the target of the drive-by shooting.
"A black SUV drove by and opened fire on the five men that were standing there," said Miami Police Officer Freddie Burden.
Burden said the five victims were standing in courtyard together. They range in age from 17 to 54-years-old. Two were considered in critical condition, but others were well enough to give police the information on the SUV.
