The victims, 44-year-old Lonnie Harley and 46-year-old Ejaash Carter, were killed on the county bus after an argument led to the driver firing a gun on the bus as it was stopped near Northwest Seventh Avenue and 183rd Street in Miami Gardens, police said.

That driver still hasn't been identified and charges have not been confirmed as Miami Gardens police work with the State Attorney's Office on the active investigation.
