Miami Gardens - Opa-locka

Two men got into an argument at Florida Memorial University, cops say. Neither survived

Two men fatally shot each other Saturday night at Florida Memorial University, Miami Gardens police said.

An early investigation of the incident at 10:16 p.m. led officers to William Boyd and a 21-year-old, who were suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.

Police determined “the shooting was a result of a verbal altercation between two males that shot at each other.”

Boyd died at the scene and the 21-year-old was airlifted to a local hospital where he later died.

No other subjects are being looked into, but police are still asking for the public’s help in finding anyone with information on what happened.

Anyone with additional information can call Miami Gardens Police Detective J. McIntyre at (305)474-1498.
