Surveillance video released after Fort Lauderdale shooting that left 2 people dead and 3 injured

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida. – Fort Lauderdale police on Thursday released surveillance video showing a fatal shooting that occurred earlier this week.

According to police, several people called 911 shortly before 8 p.m. Monday to report a shooting near the 800 block of Northwest 10th Terrace.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found several people with gunshot wounds, including a two-year-old boy.

Police confirmed that a total of five people were shot, including a woman who was pronounced dead at the scene and a man who died after being transported to Broward Health Medical Center.

The surviving victims were also taken to Broward Health Medical Center.

Relatives identified the victims as 28-year-old Tiarra Holliday and 45-year-old Sheldon Lawrence.

According to Holliday’s family members, she was near a supermarket with her young son when someone opened fire.

Surveillance video shows the shooter was sitting in a silver car with the passenger door open when the shooting occurred.

Relatives said Holliday was shot in the head and her 2-year-old son was also hit by a bullet.

According to relatives, the mother ran into the store, where she collapsed and died.

The little boy was identified as Diego by his grandmother. She said he was initially put into an artificial coma and also suffered a broken leg.

“She did everything she could to save her baby’s life,” said Shontrelle Holliday. “That was definitely her. She would rather have saved him than herself.”

Relatives said Diego was no longer in a coma on Thursday and had undergone a second surgery to remove part of his skull.

Police confirmed Thursday that the silver vehicle was found abandoned shortly after the shooting, but no suspects were arrested.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Detective Jennifer Saint-Jean at 954-828-5570, Detective Jackie Sanchez at 954-828-5539 or the Homicide Tip Line at 954-828-6677 or call Broward Crime Stoppers anonymously at 954-493-TIPS.

A reward may be paid for any information leading to an arrest.

Family members have created a GoFundMe page to help with Diego’s medical expenses and Holliday’s funeral.
