Two women are receiving medical care after being victims of a drive-by shooting in unincorporated Central Broward, as relayed by the Broward Sheriff's Office. The shooting took place on Friday afternoon near the 100 block of Northwest 29th Terrace, a detail confirmed by multiple sources. CBS Miami reported the two were hurried to an area hospital, following the incident which prompted a swift response from authorities.
After responding to the scene around 2:23 p.m., sheriff's deputies, in pursuit of the alleged shooter, located a vehicle believed to be implicated on Florida's Turnpike. NBC Miami shared that the individuals inside this vehicle were detained for questioning, adding an important piece to the unraveling investigation.
As investigations continue, the health status of the injured women remains of immediate concern. One casualty of the shooting sustained a bullet wound to her leg, but is expected to recover, as a relative informed WSVN. The condition of the second woman, however, has not yet been disclosed to the public.
Details of the event are still emerging, with authorities piecing together the circumstances leading up to the drive-by. The shooter, having fled the initial scene in a black Mercedes-Benz C300, was apprehended following a short chase on the Turnpike, extending from Hollywood Boulevard to the Golden Glades Interchange. Found with the vehicle stopped, the perpetrator's identity and the motive behind this violent action continue to be under investigation.
