A Florida prosecutor has ordered an investigation after a homeowner fired shots into a couple’s car when they mistakenly turned onto his property while making a late-night Instacart delivery. Police closed the case without consulting the state attorney’s office.
No one was injured by the gunfire in an upscale Fort Lauderdale suburb, but it is the latest in a spate of similar shootings across the U.S. where people have mistakenly turned onto the wrong property or gotten in the wrong car. One person has been killed and others seriously wounded. In this case, the shooter told police the car was being driven erratically, struck his leg, and made him fear for himself and his son.
“I contacted the Davie Police Department to request a full investigation,” Pryor said Friday, adding that his prosecutors will decide whether charges should be filed. The shooting happened on an unlit street in a semi-rural neighborhood at a home sitting on two acres. An officer found Thomas and Darville parked nearby. When he asked what happened, they replied, “We just got shot at.” He said that Darville was crying and that Thomas appeared “extremely nervous and scared.” The officer said that there were two bullet holes in the car’s bumper and that one tire was flat.
