Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez responded after Dillard was brought away.
“That is the pain that affects our community,” Ramirez said. “Right there — right before you. That’s why together, all of us, we must work harder to bring justice to these families.”
Two people were killed and 21 others were injured in a shooting outside of El Mula Banquet Hall shortly after midnight Sunday. Eight people were transported to nearby hospitals, and at least another 12 had checked themselves into medical facilities.
The shooting occurred after three people exited an SUV and began shooting into a crowd. The three gunmen were allegedly armed with semi-automatic rifles and fired dozens of bullets into the crowd, police said.
The suspects were wearing ski masks and hooded sweatshirts, according to the Miami Herald.
The Nissan Pathfinder, which was the vehicle the three men stormed out of before firing shots, was found Monday afternoon. It had been reported stolen a few weeks prior.
