Two in custody after cross-county police pursuit following possible Broward shooting, police say
MIAMI — A man and woman are in custody after a police perimeter was set up in Northwest Miami-Dade following a late Thursday morning chase involving suspects connected to a Broward County shooting, CBS News Miami has learned.
Around 11 a.m., the Broward County Sheriff's Office was called out to reports of shots fired near 4100 SW 19th St. in West Park. When deputies arrived, they saw a black Nissan Altima fleeing the area but no victims were found.
The car then drove south on Interstate 95 into Miami-Dade County, leading multiple law enforcement agencies, including BSO, on a chase.
According to investigators, the car stopped near I-95 and 151st Street, where the man and woman jumped out of the vehicle and ran away.
Police had then set up a perimeter in the area, impacting northbound I-95 traffic just south of the Golden Glades. BSO said investigators then found and took the woman into custody before finding the man shortly after. Authorities have not identified the suspects at this time.
Chopper 4 was over the scene near US-441 and 151st Street, where authorities were seen detaining one of them.
Northbound I-95 at 151st Street was shut down due to the investigation but has since opened up.
Thomas Jefferson/Biscayne Gardens K-8 Academy, which is nearby, was under lockdown due to the police activity but has since reopened.
