According to police, there was a fight in the hotel's lobby and at some point, the 15-year-old was shot in the arm.
Miami Police spokesman Michael Vega said it appeared one group was having a party at the hotel when a second group showed up uninvited, and that's when the fight broke out between the two groups.

"It's too early in the investigation, we have detained approximately five people that we're questioning, we're asking them what happened, but it's still too early to determine what their intention was in going to this party at 2:30 in the morning," Vega said.
