Two women were killed and one person was detained following a shooting in a Pompano Beach neighborhood Thursday night, authorities said.
According to preliminary reports, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a shooting at 8 p.m. near the 1500 block of Southwest Fifth Avenue in Pompano Beach.
Deputies discovered two people suffering from gunshot wounds outside a house.
Pompano Beach Fire Rescue arrived on the scene and pronounced both women dead.
Investigators detained one person for questioning.
Neither victim was identified.
“What I can confirm is that both victims are related,” Gerdy St. Louis, a Broward Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, stated.
Neighbors were alarmed by the incident.
“My kids come here to walk around and ride their scooters on their own sometimes. So it’s sort of, you know, worrying,” explained a neighbor and father of four.
The probe is still active and ongoing.
