Detective Diana Gourgue told WSVN, "There are multiple shots, there are multiple cases, and we’re still working. We can’t confirm any numbers at this moment, because everything is still fresh, and they’re still investigating."
Investigators reportedly believe the shooting began at another restaurant and then ended at The Licking.
A witness at the restaurant, Ced Mogul, spoke with WSVN and said it sounded like there were "at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid. It sounded like an assault rifle."
It was not immediately clear if French Montana and Rob49 were injured in the shooting.
Gourgue told NBC Miami, "If anybody was in the area at the moment that this incident occurred, we would like to hear from you, please call Crime Stoppers."
