NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Authorities are investigating a shooting in a South Florida neighborhood that left one dead and two others injured.

According to detectives, a gunman opened fire on the group with an AK-47 before driving off. "A lot of gun shots, like 10 or 14 gunshots, a lot of gunshots," said resident Rusuque Isaac.

Rescue crews rushed the three men to Jackson Memorial Hospital where one was pronounced dead. The other two victims are recovering in stable condition.
