Four people were shot outside a Best Buy in Broward on Saturday night. One has since died, police say.
At around 8 p.m., four people were walking into the parking lot of the Best Buy at 12301 W Sunrise Blvd., when a group approached them, Plantation Police Detective Robert Rettig said. The group then fired a hail of bullets.
The victim who died at the hospital was identified Sunday evening by Channel 7 News as 17-year-old Terrance Farrington, an 11th grader at Youth Under Construction, a private school in Pompano Beach. Principal Delvin King said the teen, a running back on the football team, was an energetic student.
The Best Buy where the shooting took place is just across the street from the Sawgrass Mills shopping mall.
Two people, who police have identified as “targeted individuals,” were struck. The bullets also went through the front glass of the Best Buy, hitting a bystander inside and another outside the business.
Investigators are still searching for the unidentified shooters, who fled the parking lot after the ambush, Rettig confirmed Sunday.
The three other people shot — including the bystanders — are in stable condition after being taken to local hospitals. Rettig said the targeted victim isn’t cooperating with investigators.
“The motive for this shooting is unclear at this time,” Rettig said.
Social media user Reynold Chery posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, a series of pictures of at least two people being treated for injuries inside the Best Buy.
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
