Police are investigating an alleged attempted robbery and shootout that happened in Miami Tuesday.

It happened at NE 14th Street and NE Miami Court, just east of Miami Avenue in the redeveloped part of Overtown, surrounded by new high-rise apartment buildings and trendy businesses.

Police said a man called them and reported that three men approached him and demanded his jewelry. They fired several shots at him, and the victim returned fire.

No injuries were reported, authorities said.

Miami police were processing the crime scene as the sun rose, including a black Mercedes.

Police were hoping to get an assist from the security cameras around the area, but the building manager told NBC6 his cameras did not see anything, as their views were blocked by the trees.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Numerous shots fired. No one known to be hit. It is a fairly common occurrence.

The victim did the correct thing by reporting the incident even though possibly no one was injured. When involved in a self-defense shooting, always make sure to call the police first to minimize the possibility of the actual perps calling and reporting that you were the one who initiated the incident.

Correct.

He could not be certain no one was injured. Criminals are often reluctant to show up at a hospital with a “minor” gun shot wound.

If you have a USCCA membership call them too!
