Two people were killed and over 20 injured in a mass shooting in Miami early Sunday, the Miami-Dade Police Department said in a statement.

Three people got out of an SUV and “began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd” that was standing outside a "scheduled event" at an establishment on 186th Street, in the Hialeah area to the west of Miami Gardens, the statement said.

NBC's Miami area station reported that the venue was a banquet hall, which was rented out for a concert.

Investigators were hunting for the suspects who returned to their vehicle and fled the scene after the incident, the statement added.
