Warehouse Shooting in Southwest Miami-Dade Leaves Two Injured; Suspect Killed in Police-Involved Shooting
Southwest Miami-Dade, FL – April 24, 2025 — A shooting inside a warehouse in Southwest Miami-Dade erupted into chaos Wednesday evening, leaving two individuals injured and the suspected gunman fatally shot by police. According to reports from 7News Miami, the incident occurred at a commercial property in an industrial section of the area, prompting a massive police response and launching an investigation that remains ongoing.
The Initial Attack
Authorities say the shooting unfolded inside a warehouse facility near the intersection of Southwest 128th Street and 137th Avenue just after 6:00 p.m. Witnesses in the area reported hearing multiple gunshots and screams before police units rushed to the scene.
Two victims, whose identities have not yet been released, were found with gunshot wounds. Emergency responders quickly transported them to a nearby hospital, where their conditions were last reported as serious but stable. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Police Engagement and Fatal Outcome
As officers arrived and confronted the armed suspect, a tense encounter ensued that ended in a police-involved shooting. Law enforcement officials confirmed that the suspect was shot and killed at the scene after allegedly threatening officers with a firearm.
The suspect, whose name has not been officially disclosed, was pronounced dead at the scene. Miami-Dade Police Department confirmed that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has been called in to investigate the officer-involved shooting, which is standard protocol in such incidents.
Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation
The area surrounding the warehouse was temporarily cordoned off as crime scene investigators worked through the night, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. Nearby businesses were placed on brief lockdowns during the immediate response but have since resumed operations.
“This was a terrifying ordeal,” said a warehouse employee who asked to remain anonymous. “We didn’t know what was happening at first. All we heard was shouting, and then the gunshots. Everyone hit the floor.”
Authorities are still piecing together the motive behind the shooting. Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect may have had a personal or professional connection to the location, though this has not yet been confirmed.
A Call for Calm and Vigilance
In a statement released late Wednesday evening, the Miami-Dade Police Department urged the public to remain calm and allow the investigation to proceed. “We understand the community’s concern. We want to assure everyone that this was an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to public safety,” said a department spokesperson.
Officials are asking anyone with information or video footage from the area to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
As the community grapples with the shock of yet another act of gun violence, officials stress the importance of mental health resources and workplace conflict resolution, especially in high-stress environments like warehouses and industrial centers.
Further updates are expected as the investigation develops.
