A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a suspect who reportedly shot at two individuals outside of a Pembroke Pines shopping plaza. The incident, which took place at the Pembroke Gardens mall at 527 Southwest 145th Terrace, led to one man being injured, though fortunately, his injuries are not life-threatening. This development was reported in the wake of an early morning dispute on May 31, as disclosed by NBC Miami.
According to a post by the Pembroke Pines Police Department shared on their official X handle, a verbal altercation in the parking lot of the Cigar Bar preceded the shooting, which took place around 2:30 a.m. Police describe the suspect as a light-skinned white Hispanic male, approximately 25 years old, with an afro-style haircut. After the argument, the man entered his vehicle, a black 2022 Toyota Corolla, drew alongside the victims, and proceeded to fire several shots at them before fleeing the scene. The authorities have released a solicitation for public assistance, encouraging anyone who might recognize the suspect or have relevant information to come forward.
