DANIA BEACH, Fla. — The Broward Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating a subject who they say is connected to an attempted carjacking.
Deputies said the incident happened on Sunday just after 8 p.m. at a hotel near the 400 block of Gulf Stream Way in Dania Beach.
According to detectives, the victim was in the parking lot loading items into her trunk when two people approached her and one demanded her car keys.
When the victim refused, deputies said the woman who made the demand then pulled a gun from her waistband and pointed it at the victim while asking again for her keys.
The victim took off running, according to detectives, and went into the hotel lobby to seek help from employees. At the same time, deputies said the subject with the gun walked to the hotel entrance, pointed the gun at the people inside and exchanged words with them before walking away toward Griffin Road.
Surveillance video released by BSO shows the victim running to the hotel lobby and speaking to the employees inside while the subject walks into the doorway of the hotel pointing the gun inside before appearing to speak with someone, then walking away.
The subject was seen wearing a light-colored jacket, black shirt, black shorts and black slides, deputies said.
Anyone with information or who thinks they recognize the subject in the video is urged to contact BSO Det. Daniel Cortes at 954-321-4296 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
