Homestead Police said one person has been detained but provided no further information at this time.
CBS News Miami is at the scene, where it appeared that detectives were focusing their investigation on one building in particular.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are under investigation.
Neighbors react
Neighbor Nikki Love has called the city home for 30 years, living minutes away from where the shooting happened. She told CBS News Miami that it has become the reality they live with every day.
“You can be in the house and you’ll never know somebody can come pass your house and shoot up your house,” Love said. “You have to be mindful inside and outside.”
On Saturday night, she received a phone call that someone had been shot at the apartment complex. That was when Love came running over with her kids.
“Hopefully, it’s not a young child — that’s main key. And no family members because that will be really excruciating,” she said.
Love told CBS News Miami this pattern needs to stop.
“This here is not good for kids at all,” she said.
