NORTH MIAMI BEACH: Police agencies in North Miami and North Miami Beach are investigating two cases about a mile apart Monday morning.

Neither police department can confirm whether they are related. And a shooting has only been confirmed to CBS News Miami in North Miami Beach.

At 153rd Street and 14th Avenue in North Miami Beach, there are a dozen bullet holes in the walls and windows of a yellow house.

"It was around 4:30," Mercedes Quintero, who lives next door to the house with bullet, said. "I was deeply asleep, and I just heard a sound like fireworks."

The man who lives in the affected house with his family didn't want to be identified. 

"I'm just happy that nobody got hurt," he said. "I don't know what they could possibly be going out there. Because sometimes you know when you're trying to prosper in life. People hate so things like that happen."

The man said he's doesn't know who shot at the house.

And is not the first time shot has been fired in the area.

Police confirmed they are investigating a shooting but they have not located a victim.

In North Miami, the 1400 block of NW 136th Street was blocked off by crime scene tape. It is near Claude Pepper Park.

A white vehicle with the license plate blocked is at the center of the investigatioon. At one time the doors were open.
