around 10:30 p.m. on Ocean Drive but changed course after the second shooting Sunday.
People won’t be allowed out in those areas from midnight to 6 a.m. Violators could be arrested, the city said. “It is the necessary and the most narrowly-tailored approach to include the entire South Beach area ... in the emergency curfew area in order to prevent the migration of massive crowds from the Ocean Drive area into the surrounding residential areas,” Hudak wrote in the emergency order.“As is the case with most serious crime in our city, both shootings were between visitors to Miami Beach and did not involve residents.
Under the curfew, people must leave commercial businesses before midnight, the city said. Hotels can operate past midnight but only service their own guests. Restaurants can operate after curfew for delivery only, according to the order, with takeout prohibited.
