The shooting suspect, who was the deceased woman’s boyfriend, was located nearby.

“As officers were attempting to negotiate with the subject, he committed suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Rodriguez said.

Police are trying to determine the familial ties between the victims.

The girl and boy were airlifted to Kendall Regional Medical Center while the adult male was taken to Jackson South Hospital, the Miami Herald reported.
