Brianna Johnson, a 21-year-old social media influencer, was killed early Sunday in what Miramar police described as a drive-by shooting, authorities and local reports say. Surveillance footage and multiple ShotSpotter alerts led officers to the scene shortly after 5:30 a.m.
What happened in Miramar
According to Miramar police and local outlets, the incident occurred just after 5:30 a.m. when a lime green Lamborghini Urus approached an intersection and was struck by gunfire from another vehicle. Local reports say a light-colored sedan pulled alongside the SUV and opened fire, hitting three people inside.
Surveillance video obtained by local media appears to show a vehicle following the Lamborghini before the shots. In the footage circulating online, the Lamborghini drifts through the intersection and then collides with a nearby house while the suspected shooter’s vehicle departs the scene, according to those reports.
Miramar police told reporters they responded to multiple ShotSpotter alerts and found victims at the scene. The department has categorized the case as an active homicide investigation.
