17-year-old boy killed, teenage girl critically wounded in Miramar drive-by shooting
A 17-year-old boy was killed and a 17-year-old girl was critically wounded Sunday night in a drive-by shooting in Miramar, police said. No arrests had been announced Monday afternoon.
Miramar police identified the boy as Johnnie Henderson from Miami-Dade County. The girl’s name was not released as she is a witness to the fatal shooting, police said.
Around 7:52 p.m. Sunday, Henderson was driving a white Hyundai Sonata, with his girlfriend in the front passenger seat, going south in the 3600 block of South University Drive when they were shot from another vehicle heading in the same direction, police spokeswoman Tania Rues told the Miami Herald.
When officers arrived, they found the white car riddled with bullet holes, Rues said. The teens were taken to a hospital, where Henderson was declared dead, she said.
Detectives are searching for clues that could lead them to who shot the teens and why.
“We are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed this shooting or has any information about what occurred to contact Broward Crime Stoppers,” Rues said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to contact Broward Crime Stoppers by dialing 954-493-8477 or visiting browardcrimestoppers.org. All tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous.
