KENDALL, Fla. – One person was killed and another injured after a shooting at a BB&T bank branch in Kendall.
Miami-Dade police said it happened around 8:30 p.m. Saturday on Southwest 137th Avenue near Kendall Drive. Another person ran away from the scene and is still at large.
“There were shots fired, resulting in the subject deceased on the scene,” said said Miami-Dade Police Det. Alvaro Zabaleta. “The victim did sustain a gunshot wound to the upper extremity and was transported to a local hospital.”
Police told Local 10 that the victim was using the drive-thru teller at the bank, then had some sort of confrontation with another person, which led to a shootout.

“The subject it appears had some type of confrontation with the victim,” said Det. Zabaleta. “We don’t know if the motive is a robbery. It’s too early to tell at this point.”
Police are still looking for the third person, who they believe is “armed and dangerous.”

“There was perhaps a second person, a second subject seen fleeing on foot from the area, which is why you see there are a lot of officers on scene because a perimeter was immediately established,” Det. Zabaleta explained. “We have our helicopter that was flying above and we’re still doing the search for this second individual.”
If you were in the area around 8:30 p.m., Miami-Dade police are asking if you have any information to call Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at (305) 471-8477.
