Police are investigating the shootings of two people in Miami on Friday afternoon. 

The shootings took place just before 4 p.m. behind an apartment building at Northwest Miami Place and Northwest 77th Street. 

Miami police said someone pulled up in a dark-colored Chevy pickup truck and started shooting, wounding a man in his 20s and another in his 50s.

"I heard about five shots, three to five shots," said a witness who did not want to be identified. "I didn't hear nobody. I didn't hear nobody say nothing. It was just the gunshots."

The younger man is in extremely critical condition, and the middle-aged man is expected to survive.

Officer Kenia Reyes, of the Miami Police Department, said that the only information investigators have about the shooter is that the person was in a pickup truck.

The shootings occurred about two miles away from where a 17-year-old boy was wounded in another drive-by shooting Thursday afternoon. A suspect has been arrested in that shooting.

Police said they do not know whether the incidents are connected.

"We don't know what the motive is at this point, but indeed, this is the second shooting relating to a juvenile in just two days," Reyes said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami police.
