MGDP detective Diana Gorgue addressed the press with updates late Thursday.
“We’re still working [the scene]. Yeah, there’s multiple shots, there’s multiple cases,” Gorgue said.
“We’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating,” she said.

Witness Ced Mogul was watching the filming of the music video and said the chaotic situation began when someone in the crowd was robbed of his watch, keys and wallet.
“[He asked to] call his mother and see if we can get spare car keys and make sure, you know, he’s OK, and then the gunshots went off,” Mogul said, according to Miami 7 News.
He described hearing “at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle.” (RELATED: Jury Finds Tory Lanez Guilty Of Shooting Megan Thee Stallion)
The area was cordoned off by crime scene tape and was lined with ambulances and police vehicles. News cameras captured rescue workers wheeling victims away on stretchers where awaiting doctors began immediately treating them on-scene.
Police said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident. There have been no reports of an arrest or any suspect descriptions.
