Families of 2 men killed at Miami Gardens apartment complex suing
MIAMI GARDENS – Three families are suing a Miami Gardens apartment complex for not doing enough to protect their loved ones.
Two men were shot and died inside Cedar Grove Apartments at 20601 NW 17th Ave last year in separate incidents. The family of a 19-year-old resident also is suing after he was injured in a shooting.
No arrests have been made.
It’s been a year of tears and grief for Marcia Dixon, who lost her son Edward.
“Edward was in the prime of his life when he was ripped from this Earth,” she said.
Also dealing with pain of enormous loss is Robin Gore, whose son was killed in a separate shooting there six months later.
Taborez White would have turned 21 today.
“Instead of joy and celebration, I am speaking here with you about all the memory of my son,” she said.
The families of Dixon and White appeared at a news conference.
“Under Florida law, the owners and managers of Cedar Grove Apartment Complex had a duty to provide adequate security for reasonably foreseeable criminal activity,” the families’ attorney Joshua Padron said.
CBS News Miami noticed there was no security gate.
The families attorneys provided a deposition from the property manager who was asked if were security concerns after past incidents. The answer was “no.”
“Together let us ensure that no sons are lost, and no parents are left to bury their children,” Dixon said.
CBS Miami reached out to the complex and their attorney but did not hear back.

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.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.

Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area of Collins Avenue between 16th and 17th streets while crews worked the scene.
