On May 2, 2026, 23-year-old Jaheim Pierre and his 28-year-old brother Gianni Pierre were shot inside a Miami apartment in the 5300 block of Northwest 17th Avenue. The brothers had gone to check on their sister because of concerns about her boyfriend, 31-year-old Antwan Carter, and a confrontation inside the unit turned physical. Surveillance footage shows Carter leaving, returning from his car with a handgun, banging on the door and forcing his way in despite the sister’s pleas.

Officers say Carter opened fire after entering the apartment; Gianni was shot while seated on a couch and Jaheim was struck as he ran toward his sister and collapsed on top of her. Emergency responders pronounced Jaheim dead at the scene; Gianni died at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. Police arrested Carter at the complex after he reportedly approached officers and said he had the firearm. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, held without bond, and has entered a written plea of not guilty.

Who knew Jaheim or the Pierre family and might have information about what led to that confrontation?
