Two sisters shot dead in Miami-Dade

Two sisters were killed in a drive-by shooting in Miami-Dade on Sunday that also sent two others to the hospital.

Police say Stephanie Telusme, 27, and her 23-year-old sister, Joanna, were shot and killed near Northwest 19 Avenue and 60 Street. Two others — a man, 30, and a 24-year-old woman — were also shot and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition, Miami-Dade police say.

Officers were called to the area about 1:30 a.m. Sunday after police received a ShotSpotter signal of gunfire, according to Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta.

“One of the officers attempted to stop a vehicle leaving the area and the driver refused to stop,” Zabaleta said.
