Three people including a well-known entertainer were hospitalized after an early morning shooting on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade Wednesday.

Florida Highway Patrol officials say the shooting took place near the entrance ramp to I-95 from Miami Gardens Drive around 4 a.m. According to officials, a Honda sedan with three people inside was approached by a Chevy sedan that pulled up and opened fire.

All three of the victims were hit and taken to Aventura Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries to their arms and hands.

Officials haven’t released the identities of the victims but NBC 6 has learned that entertainer Saucy Santana was one of the victims.

Santana’s talent manager said the performer was with friends when they were targeted in what may have been a random drive-by shooting.

“Saucy Santana wants to thank everyone for the calls and support,” K Daniel Talent Management said in a statement.

Santana has more than 470,000 Instagram followers and millions of views on YouTube videos including “Walk Em Like a Dog” and “Material Girl.”
