Two men hospitalized after overnight shooting in Miami’s Little Haiti, police investigate possible suspect involvement

What happened

Two men were hospitalized early Sunday after being shot in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, triggering an active investigation and extended road closures as detectives processed the scene.

Officers were dispatched at about 12:41 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, to the area of Northeast 60th Street and Northeast Second Avenue. Police arriving at the location found two adult men suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were transported to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Authorities did not immediately release the men’s identities or provide an update on their conditions.

Scene response and neighborhood impact

Investigators maintained a significant presence around Northeast Second Avenue through the morning hours, with crime-scene tape and traffic restrictions affecting nearby blocks. The closure disrupted normal activity for residents and local businesses, including operations that rely on early-morning deliveries and staff access.

Residents in the area reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing people scramble for cover in the moments after the gunfire. One nearby resident said the incident unfolded next to where his truck was parked, and described hearing “seven or eight” shots. He also said he believed a person involved in the shooting took cover behind his vehicle.

What police have confirmed so far

• The shooting occurred shortly after midnight near NE 60th Street and NE Second Avenue.
• Two men were found suffering from gunshot wounds and taken to Ryder Trauma Center.
• No motive has been announced, and no suspect description or arrests were publicly reported Sunday.
• Police have not said whether the two victims knew each other or whether additional individuals were involved.

What remains unknown

Key elements of the case were still unresolved Sunday, including the circumstances that led up to the shooting, whether the gunfire stemmed from a targeted confrontation or a broader dispute, and whether any surveillance footage or witness accounts have identified a shooter.

Authorities continued to work the scene and interview witnesses. As of Sunday afternoon, police had not announced charges or released further incident details such as the type of weapon used, the direction of travel of any suspect vehicle, or whether the victims were found at one location or moved after being shot.
