2-year-old shot in stroller as gunfight erupts outside store, Florida cops say

A 2-year-old tucked in a baby stroller was shot when a four-way gunfight erupted outside a busy Florida store, according to investigators.

It happened around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, at Cocoa Meat & Produce in West Cocoa and investigators have yet to determine a motive, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said in a video posted on Facebook.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey says at least four people were involved in the shootout, which began when three men confronted a male and female as they exited the store with a toddler.

“We’re not exactly sure at this point who fired first,” Ivey said. “But as the shooting started to take place, over 50 rounds were fired. Right at 50 round from all different directions. One of those rounds struck the 2-year-old female baby in the pelvic area.”

The child is hospitalized in stable condition, he said. Details of her relationship to the male and female at the store have not been released.

The three men who confronted the couple escaped. They were seen traveling in a black Mercedes, officials said.

Investigators have yet to learn what prompted the gunfire, but the four shooters are believed to be involved in “some type of ongoing feud.”

“Right now we have the male subject that came out of the store ... in our custody ... We are looking for other three subjects,” Ivey said.

“All four of them are shooting back and fourth at each other, not only putting the baby at risk but others that are in the area around. The parking lot was packed at the time and these individuals are out here acting like clowns, shooting at each other.”
