A rideshare driver and one of his passengers were injured Tuesday afternoon when someone opened fire on his green Honda Pilot in west Miami-Dade, police said.

One of the passengers returned fire before the shooter or shooters took off in a light colored sedan.

The shooting happened at about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday in the 800 block of Northwest 104th Street.

According to police, the driver, whom police did not identify, was transporting passengers when the sedan approached. A passenger, who also was not identified, pulled a gun out and returned fire.

The passenger and driver were injured in “the exchange of gunfire,” police said.

After being shot, the driver got out of the car. Another passenger then got in the driver’s seat and took the injured passenger to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. The passenger was in stable condition.

The driver was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. He was also listed in stable condition.

Police say the driver of the sedan took off before officers arrived.

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).

  • ‘F9’ Off to Fast Start in China, But Will Tepid Fan Reviews Hurt Global Box Office?

    Universal’s decision to release “F9” in China a month ahead of the U.S. has paid off big, as the “Fast & Furious” film has scored the biggest opening weekend for a Hollywood film since the start of the pandemic. This weekend, the ninth “F&F” film — tenth if you include the 2019 spinoff “Hobbs & Shaw” — opened to $135 million at the Chinese box office, with a global opening of $163 million with seven other markets, including Korea, also getting a release this weekend. It is the first Hollywood film since “Avengers: Endgame” two years ago to earn an opening weekend of more than $100 million in China. But while this is a very encouraging sign for Hollywood that the box office is on its way back to recovery, the bad news is that “F9” was not as well received by audiences as past “Fast & Furious” installments. Currently, the film has a 7.9/10 rating on popular Chinese film site Maoyan. By comparison, “Hobbs & Shaw” had a Maoyan score of 8.7/10, and the four preceding “F&F” films had a score of 9 or higher. Universal This could increase the chances that “F9” will have a sharp drop-off in...Read original story ‘F9’ Off to Fast Start in China, But Will Tepid Fan Reviews Hurt Global Box Office? At TheWrap

  • Arizona's Secretary of State 'stripped' of duties after criticizing election audit

    After publicly expressing "grave concerns" over Arizona's audit of the 2020 election results, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) was "stripped" of her ability to "defend election lawsuits" by the state's Republican-led House Appropriations Committee, reported Arizona's ABC 15 on Tuesday. The duty was transferred "exclusively" to Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) through the end of the 2023 fiscal year. Democrats say the move is retaliation against Hobbs' defense of Arizona voters in "lawsuits filed by the State Republican Party and others challenging Arizona's election results," per ABC 15. "It can't be just a coincidence" that Republicans are blocking a "vocal critic of the audit," writes Elvia Díaz for azcentral.com. Democratic State Rep. Randy Friese reportedly called the move "troubling," "disturbing," and "quite nefarious." Furthermore, the Appropriations Committee removed Hobb's "oversight of the Capitol Museum," ABC 15 reports, after Hobbs angered state lawmakers when she "flew a gay pride flag from the building's balcony" in 2019. Katie Hobbs has conscientiously supervised elections in Arizona. Republicans there just stripped her of some powers -- including her ability to litigate election lawsuits. They gave control of that process to the state AG, a Republican. This is how democracy gets dismantled. https://t.co/VamVgXfxgR — Tim O'Brien (@TimOBrien) May 25, 2021 In an article for azfamily.com, Hobbs labeled the entire audit "a political stunt," adding that it is "dangerous to people's safety and to the integrity of our democracy." She later tweeted a photo on Tuesday of a fruit basket sent by Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight, saying that's how "you know you're doing it right." When @staceyabrams, @gwlauren, and their crew at @fairfightaction send you a fruit basket, you know you're doing it right. pic.twitter.com/yQ11UdmXso — Katie Hobbs (@katiehobbs) May 25, 2021 Read more at azfamily.com.

  • Arriving channel migrants double as smuggling gangs use bigger boats to target smaller ports

    Twice as many channel migrants have arrived in Britain this year compared to 2020, as smuggling gangs are using bigger boats to target smaller ports undetected. The National Crime Agency (NCA) warned that criminal gangs were being attracted to the cross Channel trafficking operations because of the “high success rate” and big profits. More than 3,100 people have so far made it across the channel to the UK in small boats compared with around 1,600 at the same time last year. Sea crossings have spiked since March last year because of Covid-19 travel restrictions and increased border security for freight and rail traffic, said the NCA. If it continues at the same rate, it would pass 15,000 for the year compared with the record 8,713 in 2020. That was nearly five times the 1,835 in 2019 and 30 times the 299 in 2018, according to Migrationwatch UK data. The NCA said criminal gangs had also started using bigger boats to try to transport migrants into the UK, targeting small ports away from the busy Dover Strait. "Organised Crime Gangs (OCGs) have attempted to transport migrants into the UK using larger vessels landing at small ports away from the Dover Strait,” said the NCA in a strategic assessment published Tuesday.

  • French COVID-19 cases, patient numbers and deaths fall further

    The number of new COVID-19 cases, patients and deaths in France continued on a downward trend as the gradual further unwinding of France's third nationwide lockdown showed no signs of leading to a resurgence of the epidemic. The number of people with COVID-19 in intensive care units in France - the best measure of a health system's ability to cope with the virus - fell by another 49 to 3,447 on Tuesday, down from more than 6,000 at the end of April. Both numbers have been on a downward trend for several weeks.
