Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responds to FCI Miami after ‘bloody’ gang fight
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel responded to the Federal Correctional Institution Miami on Saturday after a fight that two federal correctional officers described as bloody.
One of the correctional officers said the injuries stemmed from a conflict between Puerto Rican and Mexican gang members held at the low-security FCI, at 15801 SW 137 Ave., near ZooMiami.
Peter Navarro, who served as an adviser to former President Donald Trump and was sentenced to four months for defying a subpoena, is an inmate at the adjacent minimum security satellite camp.
Earlier this year, a 43-year-old Puerto Rican inmate escaped the facility and later surrendered.
A source familiar with the environment at FCI Miami said members of the Puerto Rican prison gangs La Asociación ÑETA and El Grupo De Los 27 regularly engage in conflict there.
This is a developing story. Local 10 News Assignment Desk Editor Joyce Grace Ortega contributed to this report.

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.
