At Least 20 Shot, 2 Dead After Armed Group Fires ‘Indiscriminately’ Outside Miami Rap Concert

May 30, 2021

At least two people have been killed and an estimated 20 to 25 others injured in a shooting in Miami early Sunday after police said three people “began shooting indiscriminately” into a crowd waiting outside a concert. 

 

The shooting took place just after midnight outside the El Mula Banquet Hall in Northwest Miami-Dade, according to a statement from police, as the hall hosted a Memorial Day Weekend album release party featuring performances from local rappers. 

As some concert-goers stood outside the venue, a white Nissan Pathfinder pulled up and three unidentified people with assault rifles and handguns opened fire on the crowd, police said. 

Eight of the injured were transported to Miami-Dade and Broward hospitals by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, police spokesman Detective Angel Rodriguez told The Miami Herald, while 12 others were “self transported” to hospitals in the area. 

One of the victims is in critical condition. Police have not located the three shooters. 

This is the second mass shooting in Miami in just two days. Seven people were shot, one fatally, during a drive-by shooting outside a rented party space in Wynwood on Friday night.
