According to NBC Miami, the shooting took place around 12:30 a.m. at a banquet hall being rented for a release party for a local rap artist. Two people were killed, three remain in critical condition, and 17 others were shot and taken to different local hospitals.
On Monday, police released a new surveillance video that caught the suspects getting out of a white SUV with face masks carrying guns. That vehicle, a Nissan Pathfinder reported stolen on May 15, has since been recovered from a canal in Golden Gables.
Entrepreneur and TV host Marcus Lemonis offered $100.000 to help authorities find the shooters. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Miami branch donated $25,000.
