Dontrell Darling, 9, remained brave throughout the whole incidenta nd is being treated at Ryder Trauma Center

'Even though he had a serious injury in the face, he is considered stable,' Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll said at the scene.

According to witness reports, a pale-colored SUV was spotted speeding away from the area after someone in the vehicle shot at the home. 

Miami police said that the house was hit several times. 'I heard about 30 rapid gunshots, they went bop, bop, bop, bop, real rapid, about 30 of them, said a neighbor to reporters.

'It's a sad situation when a child can't be a child, when at 3:00 in the morning a kid can't sleep comfortably in his bed," said Miami Police spokesman Delrish Moss, reports the Huffington Post. 

The victim's aunt, Shauntae, was present at the time and told NBC that the bullet went through two walls before hitting Dontrell Darling.

'The door was closed,' she said. 'It went through the door and through the wall and through the other side.'

Even though the 9-year-old Darling suffered serious injuries, he remained calm throughout the whole thing. 

'I don't know if he was doing it to help his mom, but he's a pretty tough kid," Shauntae said. 'Looking at his face, everything it was split open, but he stayed calm,' said Shuantae.

The motive for the shooting is still unknown but police are looking for around four suspects seen driving past the scene. 

Neighbor Albert Doyle told reporters that shootings happen in the neighborhood all the time.

'Sadly to say, weekly,' said Albert Doyle.
