Copa America final in Miami: Weather forecast calls for safety alert for Colombia-Argentina fans


MIAMI – Argentina and Colombia fans met for spontaneous outdoor fan parties on Saturday. They will likely do the same Sunday as their national teams meet for a historic match at 8 p.m., at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

Sunday will be even hotter than Saturday. The Local 10 News Weather Authority meteorologist warn the day of the Copa America final comes with a heat advisory that is in effect until 6 p.m. in both Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

With the heat index in the 100s, fans should wear light clothes, a hat, and sunscreen, and stay hydrated. Use umbrellas to keep under the shade. The risk of rain is a low 30% until 4 p.m. when it lowers to 20%, and then to 10% after 7 p.m.

There is a free indoor airconditioned fan zone at the mall in Aventura, a free shaded fan zone at the Wynwood Marketplace, and an outdoor theater watch party that doesn’t require an admission ticket in Miami Beach.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say


MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.

“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.

Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.

They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.

According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.

Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.

“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”

Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
