2 adults, 1 juvenile injured in shooting on I-95 in Fort Lauderdale

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Three people were injured Sunday night during a shooting on Interstate 95 in Fort Lauderdale, authorities confirmed.

Video taken from the scene shows a dark-colored Nissan Sentra that investigators were focusing their attention on and taking photos of. Several bullet holes could be seen on the side of the car.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to the scene shortly after 8:30 p.m., along with Fort Lauderdale police and deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

Troopers say they responded to reports of a shooting along the southbound lanes of I-95, just south of Davie Boulevard near Marina Mile and found two people -- a man and a woman -- who had been shot by someone who fired at them from another car.

Both victims were taken to Broward Health Medical Center in critical condition.

According to BSO spokeswoman Miranda Grossman, a white BMW side-swiped the victims’ car.

Grossman said the driver of the BMW then shot at the victims at some point.

According to Grossman, the male victim’s injuries are not considered to be life-threatening, but the woman’s are.

She said a third victim, who was in a separate vehicle, was later identified at a nearby hospital. She said the third victim is a juvenile female who suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Detectives believe the same driver shot the juvenile.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS or submit a tip through the SaferWatch app.
