A Florida graduation party ended in tragedy Sunday when at least three people were killed and at least six others were wounded after the second mass shooting in Miami-Dade county in a week.
Just before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, two cars pulled up to a hookah lounge and restaurant in a strip mall in Kendall, where the party was held, and occupants of the vehicles opened fire, Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez said at a news conference Sunday.
One fatal victim was identified as Florida Department of Corrections Officer Tyleisha Taylor, 20.
The shooting outside the hookah lounge comes a week after
three people were killed and at least 21 were wounded in a mass shooting in Hialeah in Miami-Dade County.
Expressing his frustration about the recent surge in mass shootings in the area, Ramirez said at the press conference, "We all have to band together. This violence has to stop. And this is extremely frustrating. Every weekend is the same thing."
"We are devastated to learn a member of our FDC family, Officer Taylor, was killed in a fatal shooting," Florida Department. of Corrections Secretary Mark Inch said in a statement on Twitter. "Our prayers are with her family as they navigate this unimaginable loss."
Taylor began her public safety career in January of 2020 and worked at Dade Correctional Institution, he said.
