Police on Tuesday continued their search for six people involved in an ambush-style shooting of two undercover Miami-Dade police officers in their unmarked car.
The detectives were working a gang detail in Brownsville when they were shot late Monday night by suspects who walked past them, opened fire and fled.
Though police didn't officially release the officers' names, law enforcement sources said Tuesday that the two men shot were Charles Woods and Terrence White. The two, working on a task force that included federal agents, were following a suspicious car into a housing project parking lot and pulled in when somebody opened fire on their unmarked minivan.
One detective is a 26-year veteran and the other is an 11-year veteran.
The officers, who were taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in the back of a pickup by cops who were on the perimeter of the shooting scene, were in stable condition, one grazed by a bullet, the other shot in the leg. As the truck pulled up to the Trauma Center, several officers jumped out and helped the hobbled officers inside.
