1 killed, 2 injured after someone opened fire on their vehicles in Broward County

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Multiple vehicles were involved in a shooting in Broward County Monday morning that left one woman dead and two women injured, authorities confirmed.

According to Miramar police Sgt. Oscar Mendoza, the incident began around 2:15 a.m. in the 8400 block of Pembroke Road in Miramar.

“It went from Miramar, Pines, then further north into the city of Davie,” he said.

Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Rues later confirmed that officers immediately made contact with one of the victims, who told them that two black Infiniti cars and one black GMC Yukon had left the Grand Café in Pembroke Pines and were driving east on Pembroke Road.

The victim said a fourth vehicle approached the vehicles and someone inside began firing at the Yukon, while still traveling east on Pembroke Road.

“A black Infiniti was also struck,” Rues said in an email. “Two of its occupants (female victims) were transported to Memorial Regional Hospital and are in critical condition. While officers were on scene at the Miramar locations, they received notification of a shooting incident that occurred in Davie, involving our suspect vehicle and the second black Infiniti. A third female victim (from the second Infiniti) was transported to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening.”

Davie police confirmed that officers from their jurisdiction responded to the area of 3500 S. Pine Island Road shortly before 2:30 a.m. after receiving reports that the same suspect vehicle was shooting at another vehicle.

Rues said the suspect vehicle fled the scene, and authorities do not yet have a detailed description of that vehicle or of the shooter.

Police also said they are looking into whether the shooter was also at the Grand Café prior to the gunfire.

Pembroke Road and University Drive were shut down in all directions for hours due to the shooting investigation.

Sky 10 was above the scene at 6 a.m. as multiple evidence markers were placed on the ground at the intersection. Several vehicles were also parked within the scene, some of which were riddled with bullets.

A DMV at the intersection was struck by at least one bullet, as well.

No one has been taken into custody at this time.

Anyone with further information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
