Clinton Young, 17, was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 7, 2021, at his grandmother’s house in the Goulds neighborhood of Southwest Miami‑Dade, near Southwest 115th Avenue and 223rd Street. He had been visiting after finishing a shift at a nearby fast food restaurant when a vehicle drove by and opened fire. Clinton was struck and died at the scene; two other 16-year-old boys were also shot and airlifted to Kendall Regional Medical Center with gunshot wounds to their arms and legs.

Surveillance footage reportedly captured the rapid gunfire and the headlights of the suspect vehicle, and Miami‑Dade Police appealed to the public for information. A $15,000 reward was offered for tips, with contributions from the Miami‑Dade Police Director Alfredo Ramirez and the Florida Sheriff’s Association Criminal Apprehension Assistance Program. Clinton’s family described their devastation, noting he felt safest at his grandmother’s house and that his father had died under similar circumstances.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing. If anyone has information that could help identify the shooters or the vehicle involved, please come forward.
