Surveillance footage from a Hialeah apartment complex on West 22nd Court and 61st Street showed audible screams and what appeared to be gunfire during a possible double‑shooting incident. The video, released by local media, captured the chaotic moments as first responders arrived.

Emergency response

Hialeah Fire Rescue and the Hialeah Police Department quickly flooded the building. Fire crews loaded a patient onto a stretcher and transferred him to a helicopter, which lifted off from the scene. Crime‑scene tape was observed on the second floor, and officers moved through the building, focusing on a corner unit where the incident seemed to have occurred.

Witness accounts

A woman at the scene, who declined to give her name, said her husband had been shot and was recovering in a hospital. She chose not to share further details about the circumstances surrounding the possible gunfire.

Neighbor Lianet Marin, who knows several residents of the complex, said she saw a group gathered there the night before. “They all seemed drunk and like they were having some kind of party,” she said. “I came downstairs but when I came back, they were arguing, even pushing inside the apartment.”

Another resident described the aftermath, recalling, “A couple of guys coming out all bloody. And then I asked a cop, they’re like, yeah, a couple of people got shot.” He added that he stayed outside because he was a concerned resident and felt the situation was “too close for comfort.”

Neighbor Walter Pena expressed shock, noting that the block has never experienced such problems before.

Police investigation

The Hialeah Police Department has not responded to repeated requests for additional information, including the number of injured parties, the cause of the shooting, or whether any suspects are in custody. NBC6 is awaiting further details from law enforcement.

Community impact

Residents of the apartment complex and surrounding neighborhood are understandably concerned about safety. Local officials have not yet issued a public statement, but the incident underscores the importance of timely communication between law‑enforcement agencies and the community during emergencies.

Authorities are expected to release more information as the investigation progresses. In the meantime, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Hialeah Police Department.
