Two people who were described as homeless were killed within minutes of each other in Miami on January 9, 2023. At about the same time, 61-year-old Bradley Griffith was found shot on the side of the road on NW 38th Street and NW 22nd Avenue; roughly 15 minutes later, 61-year-old Marie Lousirna Noel was found shot about a mile away on NW 28th Street.

Surveillance video released by police showed a man walking around casually after the shootings. The suspect description given to the public was a 20- to 30-year-old man, 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 10 inches, medium build, dark hair, goatee, wearing a purple tie-dye shirt, purple camo shorts, and black sneakers. Authorities said ShotSpotter technology helped place a suspect at both scenes.

On June 15, 2023, 30-year-old Kenneth Allen Bent was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Bent had been released from a 2012 sentence for robbery and aggravated battery on June 3, 2022. The motive remained under investigation.

If anyone knew Bradley Griffith or Marie Noel, or saw someone matching the suspect description in the area that night, please share information with investigators.
