Hyundai Air & Sea Show military outreach highlights service members
MIAMI BEACH — You’ll see Sergeant First Class Scott Evans snapping shots of soldiers showing off the military machines.
“We’re bringing America’s army to America,” Evans said.
His service reminds him of his brother David, who died while on a tour in the Vietnam War, six years before he was born.
“His son was actually born five days later,” Evans said. “So, I have a nephew in Connecticut who never got to meet his dad because he was killed.”
As he remembers his brother on Memorial Day weekend, his country has found ways to say thank you.
“He was of the first graduating class of Lincoln High School in Rhode Island,” Evans said. “And today the park across from the high school is dedicated in his name.”
“I go to Washington, D.C. pretty frequently,” he added Very often I’ll go to the Vietnam wall and I’ll see his name there.”
His brother’s bravery is one of the reasons why he enlisted. Serving runs in the family — his grandfather served in World War Two.
“There was always that aspect of service that came with the Evans family name,” he said.
“It reminds the general population what the military is for and that their sacrifices aren’t for nothing,” said Staff Sergeant Brandon Bemis.
Evans says these kinds of outreach events are key since they can teach the next generation about one of America’s oldest institutions.
“A lot of the service members they have those kinds of stories where they have friends that they’ve served with that are no longer with us. They carry their stories forward when they interact with the public,” Evans said.
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.

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.
