Who shot and wounded a woman in Coconut Grove? Police are looking for the gunman

More than a month ago, two men shot at each other in Coconut Grove. One had dual rifles and the other a handgun.

Their gunfight ended up wounding a third person, a woman. Miami police are still looking for the two men involved.

Newly released surveillance video could help in that search.

Just after midnight on June 7, about 11 people gathered outside a home in the area of 3600 Frow Avenue, police said. The video shows an argument break out, then one man walking back into the home.

He reemerges with two assault rifles, one in each hand, walking toward the group as more people follow him from inside the house. When the man turns back to go inside, another man pulls out a handgun and fires at him, the video shows.

After taking cover next to the house, the man with dual rifles fired one of them back at the other shooter. According to the video, nearly 20 gunshots were fired.

During the crossfire, police say a bullet stroke a woman in the leg. She was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. She was treated and released.

Police said they don’t know the motive of the shooting or the identity of the two men. One of the suspects was a man 30 to 45 years old, about six foot one and 220 to 250 pounds. The other suspect was a man of about 30.

One of the suspects was a man 30 to 45 years old, about 6’1” and weighing 220 to 250 pounds. The other suspect was a man of about 30.
