FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Fort Lauderdale police released surveillance video Thursday that shows a fatal shooting that occurred earlier this week.
According to police, multiple people called 911 just before 8 p.m. Monday to report a shooting near the 800 block of Northwest 10th Terrace.
Officers arrived at the scene to find multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds, including a 2-year-old boy.
Police confirmed that a total of five people were shot, including a woman who was pronounced dead at the scene and a man who died after being transported to Broward Health Medical Center.
The surviving victims were also taken to Broward Health Medical Center.
Loved ones identified the victims killed as 28-year-old Tiarra Holliday and 45-year-old Sheldon Lawrence.
According to Holliday’s family members, she was with her young son near a convenience store when someone opened fire.
Surveillance video shows that the shooter was riding in a silver car with the passenger door open when the shooting occurred.
Relatives said Holliday was shot in the head and her 2-year-old son was also struck by a bullet.
According to relatives, the mother ran into the store where she collapsed and died.
The toddler was identified by his grandmother as Diego. She said he was initially placed in a medically-induced coma and also suffered a broken leg.
“She did everything she could to save her baby’s life,” Shontrelle Holliday said. “That was definitely the person who she was. She would have preferred to save him over her.”
Relatives said Diego was no longer in a coma Thursday and was undergoing a second surgery to remove part of his skull.
Police confirmed Thursday that the silver vehicle was found abandoned shortly after the shooting, but no suspects are in custody.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Detective Jennifer Saint-Jean 954-828-5570, Detective Jackie Sanchez at 954-828-5539, the Homicide Tipline at 954-828-6677, or remain anonymous by calling Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
