Two women were killed Thursday night in a shooting in a Pompano Beach neighborhood, and authorities detained one person for questioning.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded around 8 p.m. to reports of gunfire near the 1500 block of Southwest Fifth Avenue. They found the two women with gunshot wounds outside a home. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue pronounced both dead at the scene.
The victims have not been publicly identified. BSO spokesperson Gerdy St. Louis said both women are related. The agency has not released a motive or said whether the person detained has been charged.
Neighbors said the shooting left them shaken. One father of four who lives nearby said his children often ride scooters on the street alone, and that the killings worried him.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact BSO.
