Man, woman found shot dead on Brickell sidewalk

MIAMI - Miami Police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide after witnesses reported two dead bodies on a sidewalk outside of a luxury apartment building in Brickell Wednesday night.

According to investigators, several calls were made to 9-1-1 around 9:20 pm about a person shot near SOMA at Brickell Apartments along SW 12th Street and 2nd Ave.

When authorities arrived they found a man and a woman lying on the ground on the sidewalk outside of the apartment building.

CBS4 spoke to a man who says he heard the gunshots and went to his balcony, where he saw two children, between the ages of 11-13, crying out for help.

"He was in shock; and the little girl was crying and shouting, and everything. A guy was walking through when I opened the [balcony] door and he told me that they were arguing, and the guy shot the lady and then shot himself. The kids were there. It was horrible and seeing the children, the boy and the girl there, it was horrible," said Richard Hernandez, who has lived at SOMA for more than 5 years.

Detectives say the investigation is in its early stages but so far, all evidence points to this being an apparent murder-suicide.
