Arrest made in Miami Beach double shooting
MIAMI BEACH - A woman has been charged in a shooting near a Miami Beach bakery in which two people were injured.
Miami Beach officers working a festival heard gunshots coming from the 7300 block of Collins Avenue Monday afternoon.
They ran to the block and found a man who had been shot in the leg at 7315 Collins Avenue. While assisting him, they were flagged down and told the suspected shooter, later identified as 37-year-old Monica Santos-Gonzalez, was at Moises Bakery a few doors down.
They ran to the bakery and found her outside with a gun in her hand, according to the arrest report. They told her to drop the gun. She did and then walked into the bakery. When taken into custody, Santos-Gonzalez reportedly told the officers "They killed my family."
A second victim, a woman, was found at 73rd Street and Ocean Terrace with a gunshot wound to her right thigh.
Both of the injured were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Santos-Gonzalez is facing a number of charges including attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and grand theft of a firearm.
A records check of Santos-Gonzalez also revealed that she was a convicted felon out of Bridgeport, Connecticut, for a drug sales case, according to the arrest affidavit.
Santos-Gonzalez appeared in bond court on Tuesday, where the judge found probable cause and issued stay away orders from both the victims, the business and the 7300 block of Collins Avenue.
