POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A drive-by shooting in Pompano Beach turned fatal Tuesday night.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the drive-by shooting happened at 3028 NW 2nd St.
Officials received a call at around 11:15 p.m. Investigators said a female victim was found dead at the scene. Family members identified her as 26-year-old Tyqueshia Reid.
Family members said Reid, who recently celebrated her birthday, was the mother of a 5-year-old son and was due to get a promotion at work.
“This junk gotta stop, man. That could have been my kid, your kid, anybody kid,” said family friend Loretta Robinson.
Loved ones said Reid was speaking with her boyfriend and friends when the shots rang out from a passing car.
“He rolled by, and next minute you know, he started shooting,” said family member Shanteria Barnes. “He shot my cousin, Tyqueshia, in the head. She’s gone, I can’t – we can’t have her back. I was just with her.”
Reid’s boyfriend was also shot in the leg and transported to Broward Health North with injuries that were not life-threatening. He has since been released.
Family members believe Reid wasn’t the intended target.
“This is very senseless and this neighborhood needs to clean itself up, and they need to come together and solve this crime because that person was a very loved person and worked every day,” said Michael Graham. “She didn’t deserve this.”
Investigators said they are searching for a dark-colored vehicle.
