Miami Police are offering a $130,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to the arrest of those involved in a Memorial Day weekend shooting that killed two and injured 21.
According to MDPD, several people were standing outside the El Mula Banquet Hall on Saturday night when three people in an SUV “exited the vehicle and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd.”
Yesterday police announced that the Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of $5,000, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has provided an additional $25,000 for information leading to an arrest. Businessman Marcus Lemonis has also given a $100,000 prize for the perpetrators’ arrest and conviction.
The vehicle used by the suspects in the shooting was found discarded in the Biscayne Canal roughly nine miles from the crime scene. The SUV was apparently stolen a month before the shooting.
According to the MDPD press statement, 23 people ranging in age from 17 to 32 were shot, two fatally, 17 others were shot and transported to six or seven area hospitals. Many also drove themselves to hospitals seeking help. As of yesterday, three people had been released from the hospital.
“We believe this is a targeted act of gun violence,” Miami-Dade Police Director Alfredo “Freddy” Ramirez stated at a news conference on Sunday morning,
The identity of the two men and the other victims has yet to be revealed.
“This is unacceptable,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told reporters. “We should be remembering those who are lost, who’ve served our country, and instead, here we are standing, once again, for a terrible tragedy.” She said, “We will do everything we can and use every resource available to bring these people to justice. We will leave no stone unturned. We will leave nothing behind to bring these shooters to justice.” She continued, “We will do everything. Everything we can, and use every resource available to bring these people to justice. We will leave no stone unturned. We will leave nothing behind to bring these shooters to justice.”
One of the grieving fathers interrupted the press conference, saying, “You killed my kid with no reason; that is the pain that you see.”
