Woman arrested after allegedly killing boyfriend in Miami Gardens double shooting, police say
A woman was arrested for allegedly killing her boyfriend in a double shooting that stemmed from a domestic dispute in Miami Gardens on Friday.
Miami Gardens Police shared on Saturday that 39-year-old Shaneeka Harris has been charged with second-degree murder following their investigation.
During her court appearance, a judge found probable cause in Harris' case and denied her bond. She will appear on Monday for another bond hearing.
The shooting
Just before 6:40 a.m. Friday, Miami Gardens Police responded to a shooting at a home near 4600 NW 193rd Street. Upon arrival, officers found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was called out to the scene to provide aid, taking both men to a local trauma center, where one of them died. According to police, the man who died was Harris' boyfriend. The other was believed to be one of Harris' sons.
According to Miami Gardens Police spokesperson Diana Delgado, while Harris was not shot, she was found to have several bruises on her body.
Family members of the couple who spoke with CBS News Miami on Friday said Harris and her boyfriend had been together for close to a decade, but it was not a secret that their relationship was abusive. They said inside the home at the time of the shooting were allegedly the man, his wife and her two children from a previous relationship, ages 15 and 18.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation as Miami Gardens Police have said it is unclear who started the altercation and who started shooting first.
