Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed a large police presence in the area, with officers closing off the intersection.
Police said it was an isolated, domestic-related incident and there was no threat to the community.
At a news conference later Thursday, Miami-Dade Police Det. Andre Martin called it a "tragic incident."
"Our condolences go out to everyone who's involved in this situation and we need to remind the community, if you're involved in any situation, any domestic situation that you believe is going to turn violent or has been violent in the past, reach out and find resources," Martin said. "We all know that family situations can be difficult but there is no excuse to turn to violence."
The intersection where the incident happened is home to two living facilities, including a senior living center and an apartment complex called Gables Ponce.
One resident said the complex is home to many University of Miami students, but it's unknown if any college students were involved in the incident.
“It’s just sadness, it’s terrible, just terrible. Two lives ended, so much help available. I guess desperation," Gables Ponce resident Lorie Perez said.
The incident happened not far from Coral Gables High School, which was briefly placed on lockdown as a precaution before it was lifted.
Officials with Miami-Dade County Public Schools said the incident didn't involve or have any connection with the school.
