Shooting on beach promenade … 9 injured, including 1-year-old infant
Police chase three suspects… two 18-year-old men arrested
Local police announced that they arrested two 18-year-old men as suspects in a mass shooting that took place on the Hollywood Beach promenade in Florida on the 29th during the Memorial Day holiday, a representative American holiday.
The police said they obtained information through a public investigation on the 30th (local time) while chasing three suspects in the shooting on the same day that nine people, including a 1-year-old baby, were shot and arrested two who fled the scene.
They opened fire on the beach holiday crowd and left the scene in chaos as hundreds fled or sought shelter. Hollywood police explained.
The two men who engaged in a gunfight after an altercation that day, Morgan DeLuces and Keshaun Stewart, both 18, were arrested on charges of assault and possession of a weapon, police said.
Police seized five handguns from the men, one of which was reported stolen in the Miami area and the other was found to have been stolen in Texas.
According to police and witnesses, the shootout on the 29th, Memorial Day, took place around 7 p.m.
Witness Alby Carlton, who was present at the scene, hid behind a large tree when the gunshots were heard and followed police instructions to evacuate on foot. Another witness, Jamie Ward, said he saw several young men fighting among themselves, one of whom pulled out a gun and opened fire.
On this day, a group of young people were stopped by the police near the shooting scene, and the police found one of them, Del Luches, trying to hide a black backpack, sat down and found a 9mm handgun loaded with 7 bullets inside, the court records. was written on
An officer en route to pick up and question the suspect spotted another shooting suspect, Stuart, walking down the street and arrested him. This is because eyewitnesses at the scene have already provided the police with pictures taken with their cell phones, claiming to be a shooting suspect.
A fully loaded 9mm pistol was found in Stuart’s backpack when police stopped him and searched him.
The shootout on a Florida beach on Memorial Day evening was relatively easy to apprehend, police reported, as police officers were already deployed in anticipation of large crowds.
Four non-adults aged 1 to 17 years old and 5 adults aged 25 to 65 were shot on that day. Six people have been hospitalized and are in stable condition after treatment, while three have already been released, police said. The name was not disclosed.
Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy expressed regret over the holiday shooting, saying dozens of police were stationed on the beach and responded immediately, making several arrests. It is a popular beach destination located 20 miles (32 km) north of Miami in Fort Lauderdale. Since it was a holiday, there were more people than usual.
Meanwhile, according to local media such as NBC on the 30th, at least 16 people were killed and dozens injured in eight states across the country in shootings that took place across the country over the weekend of the Memorial Day holiday.
