Two people were taken to the hospital after they were found shot inside a car near a gas station on Bird Road in Southwest Miami-Dade, police said.

One of them, a man, died at the hospital, according to Miami-Dade police. The other, a woman, is in stable condition.

The shooting happened shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday. Video taken by Miami Herald news partner CBS4 on Thursday showed a black car, with multiple bullet holes, in front of a Chevron gas station in the area of Bird Road and Southwest 107th Avenue. The car was towed early Thursday.

Meanwhile, another investigation was happening less than two miles away in a residential neighborhood in the area of Southwest 50th Street and 98th Avenue. Miami-Dade police told the Miami Herald early Thursday that the two investigations are related.

The gunman who shot the victims also turned himself in to police, said Miami-Dade police spokesman Detective Angel Rodriguez.

Police have not disclosed if the victims knew the shooter, if they were shot while driving on Bird Road or if they went to the gas station seeking help. Police have also not disclosed the names or ages of the victim or the suspect.

In strong remarks during a meeting with officials, the Russian president noted that foreign efforts to contain Russia date centuries back. “In all times, the same thing happened: once Russia grew stronger, they found pretexts to hamper its development," Putin said, alleging that some critics of Russia who he didn't name have argued that it's unfair for it to keep its vast natural riches all to itself.

  • A movie about Cher is in the works from the producers of Mamma Mia!

    Is Hollywood strong enough to live without a Cher biopic? Clearly not. Just in time for her 75th birthday, Cher announced a movie about her life is in the works at Universal Pictures, with Mamma Mia! producers Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman on board. Craymer said the film will bring the singer's "empowering and true-life odyssey to the big screen," adding, "Her unparalleled success in music film and TV has inspired generations." Cher is also producing the film, according to People. Eric Roth, the Oscar-winning writer of Forrest Gump who also wrote the 1987 Cher film Suspect, is set to write the screenplay, though no director has been announced, and it isn't yet clear who might play Cher. The Reporter notes, though, that this is just one of a number of prominent music biopics on the way alongside films based on artists like Elvis Presley and Madonna, the latter of which will actually be directed and co-written by Madonna herself. This wave of biopics follows the Freddie Mercury film Bohemian Rhapsody becoming a major hit at the box office in 2018, also scoring a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars. Cher excitedly tweeted about the biopic news mostly in all caps — just after a tweet in which she simply declared, "Have to take shower." She later followed up, "Got terrible headache .... Maybe Got over excited."

  • Italian supermarket worker sacked for giving away two prawns gets job back

    An Italian supermarket employee who was sacked for giving two prawns worth less than 20p to a customer should be reinstated, an Italian court has ruled. The tribunal ordered the supermarket in Florence not only to give the young woman back her job on the seafood counter of the supermarket but to pay her a year’s salary in compensation as well as all her legal costs. The young woman, a single mother with two small children, was sacked after she was seen giving two prawns, worth 21 euro cents (18p), to a regular customer. He said he needed a tiny quantity of the prawns in order to see whether they caused an allergic reaction – whether to himself or to someone else was not clear. The member of staff decided it was not worth charging him for such a small quantity. She popped them in a plastic bag and used a marker pen to write on it “for an allergic test”. Managers got wind of the incident and she was sacked just before Christmas in December 2019. The woman’s outraged colleagues referred the case to a union, the USB, who took it to a labour tribunal. Its ruling had restored the woman’s “dignity and self-respect,” the union said. The judge in the case, Vincenzo Nuvoli, criticised Unicoop managers for their heavy-handed treatment of the employee. But the supermarket said it was not happy with the judgment and indicated that it would appeal the decision. The woman had been sacked “for good reason” because she had violated “fundamental obligations of the workplace”. She had flouted food hygiene regulations, “putting at risk the health and safety of clients,” the supermarket said. The case was “still open from a legal point of view.”
