Police are investigating after a person shot a 20-year-old woman in the head at a bus stop in Pinewood over the weekend.
The victim, Angelyne Ruiz, had traveled to Miami from Cuba when she was shot, and now is fighting for her life.
“She was assaulted, and somebody shot her in her jaw and the bullet went through her neck in the back. Silvi Vazquez, Angeline’s friend said. "She’s just 20 years old.”
The shooting happened in Saturday in northwest Miami-Dade.

"I can’t believe it. She wasn't at a party at night or a dangerous place. "She was just 3 blocks from her house waiting for a bus”, Vazquez said.
Cell phone video of the scene showed police from multiple agencies responding. Police haven't released any information about a possible shooter— which is frustrating to those close to Ruiz.
On Sunday, family and friends gathered together for a big show of love and support at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center for Ruiz.
Her family is praying for a speedy recovery— and for police to find the shooter.
