On May 2, 2026, 28-year-old Gianni Pierre and his 23-year-old brother Jaheim Pierre were shot and killed inside an apartment in the 5300 block of Northwest 17th Avenue in Miami. The brothers had gone to the residence because of concern for their sister, who had a history of domestic violence with her boyfriend, 31-year-old Antwan Carter. An argument between Jaheim and his sister escalated when Carter intervened and a physical fight followed.

Surveillance footage and the account provided say Carter left, retrieved a 9mm Glock from his car, returned, and banged on the apartment door. Despite their sister’s pleas, one of the brothers opened the door and Carter allegedly opened fire. Jaheim reportedly ran to shield their sister and collapsed on top of her; Gianni was sitting on the couch when shot. Jaheim was pronounced dead at the apartment; Gianni was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital and later died. Carter was arrested at the scene, charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and ordered held without bond.

Did anyone in the area see activity around Northwest 17th Avenue that evening or know the victims or the family?
