A Christmas evening shooting at a South Miami-Dade home put four people into hospitals in critical condition, Miami-Dade police say.

Police say they know who the gunman is, but he’s not in custody.

According to Miami-Dade Detective Andre Martin, a report of a shooting brought officers to 26510 SW 138th Ct., a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took one victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital South. A friend drove three others to Baptist Health Homestead Hospital before police got to the house. Two of those people were airlifted by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue from Homestead Hospital to Jackson South.

As of Thursday morning, the victims were in stable condition, according to Martin. The motive for the shooting remains unknown, he added.

“Our detectives continue to piece together facts as they work to locate the subject of this crime,” he said in an email to the Herald.

Those who know anything about this shooting or the gunman’s whereabouts can contact Crime Stoppers of Miami-Dade & the Florida Keys either online or at 305-471-8477 (TIPS).
