Opa-Locka FL April 30 2022 A shooting at an Opa-locka car dealership left one security guard injured and police searching for the people who stole two vehicles early Thursday.
The shooting took place just after 4:30 a.m. at the CarYou Miami dealership located in the 2600 block of Northwest 141st Street.
The dealership’s owner said at least three suspects smashed into the business and stole a 2010 Infinity and a 2017 Hyundai.
