LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Three people were injured during a shooting on Monday morning outside of Lallo’s, a Trinidadian restaurant and party venue that had closed at midnight, in Lauderhill, police said.
Keiana McDonald said there was a stage and live music when everyone in the audience panicked and ran for cover. She said some women got trampled on.
“I was terrified ... I have a kid at home,” McDonald said.
Police officers found a man and a woman injured at about 12:20 a.m., at 1400 N. State Road 7, and another victim at Florida Medical Center, according to the Lauderhill Police Department.
A man suffered a single gunshot wound to the back of his head, a woman suffered a wound to the shoulder, and a third victim suffered a wound to the front of the head, according to Sgt. Parys Thomas, a spokesman for the department.
The three victims were admitted to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, and detectives were investigating the shooting, according to Thomas.
On Monday afternoon, crews were back at the venue, picking up tables and cleaning up the mess left behind.
The party promoters did not respond to Local 10 News’ requests for an interview, but on social media they’re telling their patrons, in part:
“We understand the fear, confusion and potential trauma that such an incident can cause...In light of this incident, we are reviewing our entire security protocol and procedures.”
Detectives asked anyone with information about the case to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
