Tragedy struck in Miami when gunmen opened fire over the holiday weekend on Sunday (May 30), which left more than 20 injured and multiple casualties outside the billiard hall that played host to a rap concert. NBC confirmed on Friday (June 4) that a third victim has passed away as a result of injuries suffered in the shooting.
Shaniqua Peterson passed away on Thursday (June 3). The 32-year-old was a mother to a 12-year-old son. Her family confirmed that she had been shot in the head and remained in a coma since.
“Our family wants the gun violence to end, for these predators to be caught,” Peterson’s family said in a statement. “This shooting has shaken the family to its core.”
A pair of 26-year-olds named Desmond Owens and Clayton Dillard III were identified as the other two victims who were killed.
“Our family is experiencing a deep sense of loss right now,” Owens’ cousin Ashley Gantt stated.
Mass Shooting At Miami-Dade Rap Concert Leaves 2 Dead & 25 Injured
A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department confirmed that three armed gunmen arrived at the scene late Saturday before opening fire on the El Mula Banquet Hall. Surveillance footage shows the assailants stepping out of an allegedly stolen white Nissan Pathfinder.
The crowd outside had been awaiting entry to an album release party for Carol City rapper ABMG Spitta. As of Monday (May 31), 18 of the victims had remained at local hospitals receiving treatment for their injuries. No arrests have been made in the case.
Just sad r.i.p
Prayers for the victims, and condolences to the families and friends of those that didn’t make it. Let’s stop promoting these artists that are being encouraged as well by record labels, enabled, to this kind of lifestyle. Corporations don’t give af. It’s making them money.
that is terrorism because it is a public place.
An attack has to have a political motive to be classified as terrorism. This is likely a retaliation and the rappers might not have even been the target. They fired into the crowd. Im sure FBI is searching the social media of everyone at that party for anything that links them to who the target was. I wouldnt be suprised if they seized cell phones too.
dem wypipo at it again. they dun coerced dem black folk to do this!
Yep, you’re from Florida alright. Gonna need this person to be reeducated to at least high school level and possibly need a translator to conversate with them because I’m not fluent in retard.
He is a public school kid that was taught “critical race theory” buddy. It was systematic racism that made those three white cops in black face shoot all of those people. They’re too stupid to have free will. It’s obviously society.
Alright, stop with the bullshit already. it’s really getting old. Stop trolling. Nobody comes here to read about that fuckery.
Nobody from Florida is woke, sorry
If we gotta blame white ppl for our stupid actions than we might as well go back to slavery
don’t forget about the shooting that happen on 137 County Road out in the country in Alabama. they was fighting over a roadkill deer in the road
Yeah, it wasn’t like 20 some people at a hip hop concert dumb dumb. This is a Hip Hop site. Nice comparison stupid! 3 dead over 20 injured numbnuts. The shit you made up in Alabama didn’t even happen.
