One of the victims, 30-year-old Kenneth Cruz, who was 29 at the time, was shot in the head and taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.
"This could have been a lot worse. An innocent child could have been playing and could have been shot or other people. It’s a very reckless situation," Miami-Dade Police Det. Luis Sierra said.
Detectives are asking for the public's help in finding the suspect or suspects, and a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered in the case.

“When this happened, maybe the neighbors were scared to come forward and say something so we’re here to remind you that this is still an open case," Sierra said. “The shooter is still out there, okay, he opened fire in a residential community, and multiple rounds. So, we’re really asking the community to come help us out.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
