Police are investigating two separate shootings in Miami-Dade County that left 12 people -- including a 16-year-old -- with injuries.
The first shooting occurred in Little River Park at 7:07 p.m., authorities said.
Authorities said family members were enjoying a day at the park when two unidentified gunmen started shooting at them near a basketball court. Eight people were injured, six critically.
One victim -- a 16-year-old boy -- was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center.
Just after police responded to the shooting in Little River Park, officers received a call about another shooting in Allapattah, authorities said.
Four people were left wounded in the Allapattah shooting, according to City of Miami police. The victims were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition.
"This type of gun violence has to end," said Alfredo Ramirez, director of the Miami-Dade County Police Department. "We must work together as a community."
The shooting in Little River Park happened in the 10500 block of NW 25th Avenue, officials said. The Allapattah shooting occurred in the 3600 block of NW 25th Avenue.
Authorities said it is too early to tell whether both shootings are related.
An investigation is ongoing.
