A car was found on Florida’s Turnpike with bullet holes through the windows, police say
Police are investigating after they found a shot-up car that was abandoned on the side of Florida’s Turnpike near Homestead on Friday morning.
The blue Ford Fusion had at least two bullet holes through the front windshield, one in the driver’s side window and at least one through the right rear window — as well as two through the driver’s side door. The car was parked on the left southbound shoulder of the highway near the Campbell Drive exit.
Around 10 a.m. Friday, Florida Highway Patrol troopers and investigators were seen taking photos and looking inside the car, which had a temporary tag.
FHP spokesman Lt. Alex Camacho said troopers “responded to a shooting incident” at 9:43 a.m., and when they arrived, they found the abandoned car with “several bullet holes.” He did not provide any other details about the case.
Miami-Dade County Police spokesman Detective Andre Martin said that so far, the department is not part of the investigation.
