Rapper Ced Mogul told NBC 6 he was at the video shoot behind a nearby KFC, where someone was robbed. The shoot then moved to The Licking, where as many as nine people were shot, including rapper Rob49, Mogul said. Police have not confirmed this information.
Ced Mogul shared video that showed French Montana and Rob49 in the backseat of a car during the video shoot and before the shooting.
He also shared video of police and fire rescue helping some of the wounded outside the restaurant.
French Montana released a statement on Twitter Friday about the incident.
"Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant. We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time," he wrote.
Sanchez returned to the restaurant Friday morning because she said her dog was lost in all the panic. She said the Caprice was taken by investigators.
"The police actually took the car for evidence, they wanted to dust it for fingerprints and see if there was any bullets in it," she said.
No arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation and police said they're seeking more information.
"If anybody was in the area at the moment that this incident occurred, we would like to hear from you, please call Crime Stoppers," Miami Gardens Det. Diana Gourgue said.
