Joshua Cadet was 16 when he was shot and killed in Miami Gardens on May 27, 2016. He was visiting friends at a home on the 18000 block of Northwest Seventh Place just after midnight when several people approached on foot and opened fire. Neighbors reported hearing about ten gunshots. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took Joshua to Hollywood Memorial Hospital, where he died later that afternoon.

Joshua was a student at Miami Norland Senior High School. Classmates remembered him as a good person who was funny and could make others laugh. The shooting left visible signs of the neighborhood’s fear, with a chalk outline and a message beside a drawing of a gun near the scene. The Miami Gardens Police Department has not announced any arrests and is asking the public for information.

If anyone has information that could help identify the gunmen, please contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
