The FBI's Miami Field Office has teamed up with the Miramar Police Department in a widespread search for Zacahary Sloan Thelusma, a 22-year-old man implicated in a fatal drive-by shooting that claimed a man's life back on March 19 in Miramar, Florida. Thelusma, who is a Black male with black hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs approximately 120 pounds, was charged with first-degree murder with a firearm by the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court in Broward County on May 2, prompting a state warrant for his arrest, as per WSVN.

In a separate, yet equally shattering event, another drive-by shooting occurred today when a white Bentley parked in a Miramar driveway became a gunfire target, resulting in severe injuries to one man - now in critical condition at Memorial Regional Hospital's trauma center, both the vehicle and the suburban peace disturbed, and emergency teams responded swiftly to the 3200 block of Southwest 66th Way following the incident according to a report from Hoodline.

While Thelusma remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, authorities have cautioned the public to maintain vigilance and not to approach him if spotted, as stated by the FBI and local law enforcement agencies involved in the case. The manhunt for Thelusma illustrates the troubling trend of gun violence plaguing neighborhoods, turning even the quietest streets into scenes of indiscriminate and sudden danger.
