Man shot on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach leading to large investigation, police say

Police in Miami Beach said a man was rushed to a hospital in critical condition early Friday morning after he was shot on Collins Avenue.

According to information provided by Miami Beach police, officers rushed to the 6700 block of Collins Avenue just before 5 a.m. after getting a report that someone had been shot.

When officers arrived at the scene, officers said they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim, who has not been identified, was rushed to Jackson Memorial Ryder Trauma Center by the Miami Beach Fire Department in critical conditions.

Hours after the shooting investigation began, Miami Beach police said one person had been taken into custody for questioning and the investigation remains ongoing.

Because of the shooting investigation, Miami Beach police said that northbound traffic on Collins Avenue was shut down at 67th Street and has been diverted west onto Harding Avenue and Indian Creek Drive leading to massive traffic backups as a result.

CBS News Miami crews spotted several police officers and SWAT officers gathering in a Walgreens parking lot while the investigation was taking place.

One resident that CBS News Miami spoke with said she walked out of her home to catch a bus on Collins Avenue to head to an appointment, and wasn't able to return.

"I just came out after 6 a.m. to see if the bus was here on Collins Avenue," she told CBS News Miami. "Then when I came back, I could not get back in."

Miami Beach police said they were not releasing any other information at this time.
