1 killed in Miramar drive-by shooting
MIAMI - A barrage of bullets flew on SW 66th Way in Miramar late Tuesday morning, after a gunman opened fire on a Bentley parked at a home.
"Broad daylight, middle of the afternoon. Broad daylight," said neighbor Diann Schoeler.
Schoeler and her son Dylan Mersereau were home at the time when they heard dozens of shots.
"I just jumped up. I couldn't even feel my legs. I knew immediately it was gunfire and I ran into the house. I didn't know I could move that quick," said Schoeler.
Chopper video capturing the bullet riddled Bentley, with blood and transmission fluid surrounding the vehicle.
The young man who was shot was rushed to the hospital but tragically succumbed to his injuries.
"This was very brazen, this is something that happened in the middle of the day in a residential area that unfortunately, it just should've never happened", said Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Ordaz.
Miramar police say it was a drive-by shooting, and a swat team was called to the scene after people inside the home where the shooting happened refused to come out.
"There were approximately six individuals in the home where the shooting took place. Four came out on their own but two were uncooperative," said Ordaz.
Of the six people, police say one case was a toddler.
As the investigation continued, at least two people were detained by the crime scene.
Residents said a crime like this rarely happens in this neighborhood.
"It's been a while. Probably over 10-12 years ago," said Dylan Mersereau.
Diann and Dylan say high end cars often speed around their neighborhood, but after this drive by shooting, they're considering moving out.
"It's kind of at a point where I've had enough," said Schoeler.
Police are still searching for a motive and are still working to figure out what kind of car and how many people were involved in the shooting.
