A weekend drive-by shooting left an infant and two adults in the hospital and a 7-year-old girl brain dead.
Miami-Dade police said the shooting happened Saturday night. Cynthia Banks, a family member of those who were wounded, told CBS Miami her niece had parked a car outside their home and family members were getting out when they were fired upon.
“We are hurt so bad, you know. We are just so hurt,” Banks said. “We would have never imagined that it would happen like this here. I just want everyone to just pray for my family. We don’t know what is going on; we don’t know what is happening. The only thing we know is our family is suffering for what happened and disappointed.”
Local leaders expressed outrage over the shootings on social media:
Banks is calling for the shooters to surrender to police.
“I pray to God that they turn themselves in. I pray to God that they turn their life around and understand you don’t hurt a family here so badly,” she said.
