As two teenagers continue to recover at the hospital after being shot in Opa-locka, four suspects were arrested, police said on Wednesday. Santana Britton, 19, is facing several charges, including attempted first-degree murder and battery with a deadly weapon, while Johnathan Hodges, 20, was charged as an accessory and criminal solicitation. Britton and Hodges The other two suspects are minors, and their charges were not released. According to Opa-locka Police, on Tuesday, officers responded to reports of gunfire at Sailboat Cove, a gated neighborhood in the area of 1800 Northwest 142nd Lane. An arrest report said the two teens were found inside a home and were both suffering from gunshot wounds. They were treated at the scene and then they were airlifted to the hospital in critical but stable condition. At the scene, officers found 11 spent shell casings and a live round inside the home, the report said. An officer who was on his way to the home, the report said, saw a green Chevrolet Impala fleeing the area at a high speed and driving erratically. The Chevrolet was then stopped, and Hodges, who was the driver, was detained. When the two victims were interviewed at the hospital, one of them told detectives that he was on the first floor of the home when he heard a knock on the door, and when the other teen went to open the door, he heard gunshots, the report said. He said he saw Britton firing more shots, and he was struck, and then ran back to the second floor and yelled for his family to call police. The second victim, who answered the door, told detectives that when he realized he was shot, he ran to the second floor of the home for safety, the report said. During the incident, the report said, there was a witness who was also at the home who heard the knock at the door and saw a masked person who started firing shots. The witness ran for safety and was not injured. After being taken into custody, Hodges told detectives that he walked around the back of the home and saw several people through a clear sliding glass door, and saw Britton holding two guns in each hand. An investigation into the shooting remains active.

A man has been arrested after he stabbed another man in Miami over $10 in drug money last week, authorities said. Manuel Lopez, 65, was arrested Tuesday on an attempted felony murder charge in the stabbing that happened back on Jan. 13, an arrest report said. Manuel Lopez The stabbing happened near a cafeteria in the 1200 block of West Flagler Street in Little Havana. The 33-year-old victim ran to a friend who was at an ATM across the street before he was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center where he underwent surgery. According to the arrest report, the victim said Lopez had owed him $10 from a previous drug purchase and when Lopez gave him $10 to buy drugs for him, the victim decided to keep it since he hadn’t been paid back from the previous time. That caused an argument that led to Lopez stabbing the victim with a silver kitchen knife, the report said. Surveillance video appeared to show the moments after the man was stabbed, and showed him leaving a trail of blood as he moved down the street. The report said investigators also found video that showed Lopez chasing the victim with a knife. When Lopez was taken into custody he had “narcotics paraphernalia” and clothes with possible blood on them, the report said. Lopez, who the report said is homeless, was booked into jail and expected to appear in bond court on Wednesday.
