Footage from the scene also showed a woman being airlifted to Aventura Hospital from the area.

NBC6 is still waiting to learn more from police, but the investigation appeared to be centered around a black car that neighbors said had been out on the street since 3 a.m.

Video captured by NBC6 on the scene shows detectives walking around trying to collect evidence and roping off the street. Police have since left the scene.
