HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) – Authorities have arrested at least three men in connection with the mass shooting at El Mula Banquet Hall in Hialeah that left three people dead and 20 others injured in May 2021.

Sources tell 7News that Allen Chambers, Eugene Holmes and Jacaraee Green were arrested Thursday.

The arrests mark an important step in the investigation into the Memorial Day weekend incident that shocked the community.

SWAT teams worked through the night to arrest the three people believed to be involved in the shooting.

The three newly arrested individuals join Davonte Barnes, who was convicted in November 2023 and sentenced to life in prison for his role as a lookout in the attack. Prosecutors said he played a significant role in “the largest mass shooting in Miami-Dade County history.”

The shooting happened during a hip-hop concert in the banquet hall. On May 30, around 12:30 a.m., two vehicles approached the venue and opened fire on the crowd waiting to enter the banquet hall. Witnesses reported that the shooters wore ski masks and hooded sweatshirts. Authorities described the attack as targeted.

State and county officials are expected to hold a news conference Thursday afternoon to discuss the new charges against these individuals and provide more information about this case.
