Multiple fatal shootings in Miami Beach during the St. Patrick’s Day and Spring Break celebrations prompted by a crowd of large and unruly
The City of Miami Beach has issued a state of emergency and a midnight curfew following two fatal shooting incidents and “excessively large and unruly crowds,” according to a news release from the city.
On Friday, violence broke out in the popular South Beach area amid both St. Patrick’s Day festivities and Spring Break celebrations, leaving one person dead and another injured, according to authorities. Police recovered four firearms from the scene.
One man with a gunshot wound was found on the 1000 block of Ocean Drive. “The male was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Unit, where he later died. A second victim was injured but treated and released on-site.”
At that time, Miami Beach Police Chief Richard Clement was trying to figure out how to deal with a large crowd and what to do about it.
In the wake of fatal gunshots, some commissioners argued the third weekend of spring break is usually the time period that sees violence. Two commissioners argued it would be unfair to punish future crowds for what happened last weekend.
The Greater Miami Convention Bureau’s Motion Against a TSA-Standard Peculiar Proposal for the Ultra Music Festival
The Ultra Music Festival, which is set to bring tens of thousand of electronic music fans to Bayfront Park, has prompted the Greater Miami convention bureau to move.
Four of the seven Commissioners voted against the proposal. Six of the panel’s seven members voted in favor of forcing liquor stores to close.
“By requesting entry into the event, all festivalgoers and attendees shall be subject to a thorough TSA-style pat down search, including emptying pockets and bags, and having your items examined,” the event website says.
