FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are hoping surveillance video can lead to a big break in the case of a drive-by shooting outside a corner store in Fort Lauderdale that left two people dead and three others injured.
The security footage released on Thursday shows 28-year-old Tiarra Holliday casually walking across the street toward the store Monday evening.
Across the street was Holliday’s 2-year-old son, Deagoo, with his uncle, a man dressed in blue.
Just as Holliday reached the store, a silver sedan with dark-tinted windows approached. As the vehicle made a right turn, it slowed down.
It was at that moment that someone on the passenger side opened the rear door and began shooting.
Tiarra managed to enter the store, but she was mortally wounded.
Shontrelle Holliday, the victim’s mother and Deagoo’s grandmother, spoke with 7News on Thursday.
“[Tiarra] was running. She didn’t know that she was hit,” she said. “She thought that she had gotten away and began to scream, ‘My baby, my baby.'”
Across the street, the toddler’s uncle was struggling to get up. Deagoo is not visible in the video, but police said he was hit as well.
A man seen by a tree near the boy’s uncle, later identified as 45-year-old Sheldon Lawrence, tried to crawl away.
Investigators said a total of five people were hit. Tiarra and Lawrence died from their injuries.
Calls to 911 calls followed moments after shots rang out.
“Did you see who did it?” a dispatcher said.
“No, I don’t see,” said a caller.
“It came in as a shooting, a caller reporting that someone was shot. Receiving an update from PD. They’re advising that a baby was hit,” said a dispatcher.
A bullet grazed Deagoo’s head, his family said, seriously injuring his skull and requiring surgery. His leg was also broken.
“They were very hopeful because he came in crying and, you know, wanting Mommy,” said Shontrelle. “He has been in a medically induced coma. One of the hardest things that I have to face is when he asks that million-dollar question: ‘Where’s Mommy?'”
When asked what she plans to tell her grandson, Shontelle replied, “I don’t know yet.”
Whoever was in the silver car apparently didn’t care that several people of all ages were standing in front of the store and across the street in the middle of a residential area.
“There were witnesses to this incident, so we urge anyone who saw anything, heard anything or knows everything to contact us immediately,” said Fort Lauderdale Police spokesperson Casey Liening.
That might be their best hope, along with the surveillance video, of finding the people in that car.
“These amateur killers are just still out here on the loose with no repercussions,” said Shontrelle. “It just doesn’t make sense, but the bottom line [is] my daughter is no longer here.”
Tiarra’s family said they’re holding off on making funeral arrangements until they make sure Deagoo is going to be OK.
