Two Workers Shot and Wounded at a Miami Airport Cargo Warehouse, Police Say
Two men were shot and wounded Thursday night in what Miami-Dade police describe as a simmering workplace dispute among four people at a warehouse near Miami International Airport.
The shooting happened just before 7:30 p.m. at 2360 NW 66th Ave., police said That’s the address of a company called Cargo Force, which provides cargo and mail services to airlines and airports.
The argument among four employees turned violent when one pulled a gun and “fired several times,” said Miami-Dade police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta.
“This dispute escalated into a physical confrontation,” Zabaleta told reporters on the scene.
Two workers were shot and taken to a nearby hospital by family members who also are employees, Zabaleta said in a statement. The wounded men, 18 and 23 years old, were transferred to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
Police detained a 31-year-old shooting suspect and another person involved in the dispute. Police did not immediately release the names of the suspects or the people who were shot.
