A 14-year-old boy was shot four times in the chest over the weekend in West Miami-Dade, according to Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
The shooting happened outside an apartment complex, Carvalho told the Miami Herald after being briefed by investigators.
“Senseless overnight gun carnage claims another victim,” Carvalho said in a tweet early Sunday. “Beyond the prayers and thoughts this 14-year old teen needs as he lays in critical condition after being shot four times, we as a community need to muster up the resolve to end this terror.”
Miami-Dade police confirmed Monday morning that a ShotSpotter alert called them to the west side of the Cutler Manor Apartments, 10875 SW 216th Street around 11:37 p.m. Saturday. Police were told that a juvenile was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital South by people who knew him.
No arrests have been made.
