Following a drive-by shooting in Florida City on Monday, July 25, 2022 where a two-year-old toddler and another person were injured, Representative Kevin Chambliss (D-Homestead) and other local leaders will act later on today by going out into the community to speak with residents. The residents will be encouraged to “if you see something, say something.” The appeal to the community will begin today, July 27, 2022 at 5 p.m. at the corner of S.W. 6th Place and S.W. 10th Street Florida City, FL. Representative Chambliss will join with local law enforcement, Miami-Dade & The Florida Keys Crime Stoppers, South East Dade Ministerial Alliance (SEDMA), and others seeking answers about the shooting.
“The era of drive-by shootings must come to an end. Whether it is a park, birthday party, or their front porch, our children deserve better. Unfortunately, these types of shootings happen daily in my community. Enough is enough! We are partnering with Crime Stoppers, local community leaders, and law enforcement to go door to door, asking for residents to please help us bring the shooter to justice. By calling Crime Stoppers at the toll-free number, 1-800-346-8477, they will have a safe and anonymous way to do just that,” said Representative Chambliss.
