Two people were taken into custody Thursday after they led Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies on a pursuit from West Park to northwest Miami-Dade, authorities confirmed.
According to BSO spokeswoman MG, West Park District deputies responded to a “shots fired” call in the 4100 block of Southwest 19th Street around 11 a.m.
G said as deputies were arriving, they spotted a vehicle fleeing from the area.
“The vehicle traveled southbound on Interstate 95 into Miami-Dade County where multiple law enforcement agencies, including BSO, pursued the vehicle,” G said in a news release.
The pursuit appeared to have led to at least one car crash on the highway.
Sky 10 was above the scene near Northwest 151st Street shortly before noon as a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue truck blocked off a couple of traffic lanes near the scene of one crash.
Cellphone video shared with Local 10 by witness AR shows two people bailing out of a car on the highway.
Sky 10 was above the area of Northwest 144th Street and Sixth Court around 12:20 p.m. as one of the suspects was taken into custody. He was found hiding in the backyard of a home.
G confirmed that both suspects had fled on foot after bailing out of their car.
She said detectives quickly detained the female suspect while the male suspect was taken into custody a short time later.
“No victims have been located regarding the initial call in West Park,” G said.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools confirmed that TJ/Biscayne Gardens K-8 was placed on a precautionary lockdown due to the police activity nearby.
G confirmed that the northbound lanes of I-95 at 151st Street were shut down due to the investigation but have since reopened.
The suspects’ identities were not immediately released and its unclear what charges they are facing.
