Arriving at the area near NW 97th Ave and NW 10th Street, Plantation Police found a woman and child who had been killed by "traumatic means," as per statements provided to WSVN. The specifics surrounding the traumatic nature of their deaths were not immediately released. Amid the chaos of the crime scene, a man was also located presumably in the midst of a drug overdose, adding a complicated layer to the tragic scene.
The identities of the deceased and the hospitalized man, believed to be the father of the child, remain undisclosed as the investigation continues.
