Family, Miramar police beg for answers in unsolved 2022 drive-by double homicide

MIRAMAR, Fla. – Miramar police held a news conference Tuesday morning alongside family members of the victims in an unsolved 2022 double homicide.

The deadly drive-by shooting happened on the evening March 17, 2022 outside Poohchello’s Restaurant, located in a shopping center at County Line Road and Southwest 69th Avenue.

Brent Hart, 25, and Dumas Cherizol-Amilcar, 27, were killed. The two had been picking up food from the restaurant with two other friends.

“Honestly, I don’t know how more people weren’t hurt. That’s a busy shopping center,” Miramar police Detective Susan Smith, the lead investigator in the case, said Tuesday. “There’s a restaurant, a church, a daycare. There was at least one adult and one child inside the daycare when the shooting happened and the daycare in front of the business actually was struck by gunfire.”

Family members pleaded for the public’s help to come forward and help solve the case.

“Somebody shot my son and killed him in cold blood,” Erica Wilson-Price, Hart’s mother, said. “I need somebody to come forward and really say what happened. Somebody knows what happened.”

Smith said it’s unclear whether the shooter targeted the two men or whether the shooting was random. Surveillance video showed Hart running into the restaurant after being shot.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have a motive,” Smith said. “We’re working with limited information.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477. Family members have started a GoFundMe page to help increase the reward in the case.

“I would do anything to have my little brother back and someone’s split decision has turned our world upside down,” Tahisha Amilcar-Dees, Cherizol-Amilcar’s sister, said in a pre-recorded video.
