South Florida highway shootings leave unanswered questions

SWEETWATER – Dozens of shooting investigations on Florida Highways led to several people injured & many questions unanswered.

Years ago, Florida’s Highway Patrol Crime Interdiction Unit launched Operation Safe Highways to help curb the violence but the roadways have seen several bullets and several deaths. Most recently, a woman was injured while driving on I-95. 

Her Maserati was shot at 30 times, she was hit more than once on her left side.

From December 2021 through December 2022, there have been 50 shooting investigations by the Florida Highway Patrol Bureau of Criminal Investigations and Intelligence. Thirteen happened in Broward County and 37 in Miami-Dade.

CBS Miami has reported on several highway shootouts over the years. One week ago we told you about a man arrested and charged after firing a weapon several times outside of a Lamborghini. 

There was also a shooting on I-95 around Thanksgiving that resulted in the death of a local teacher. 

Police have not yet found a suspect in the investigation into the Maserati shooting from the New Year weekend.

The victim’s condition is unknown, but police say her injuries are considered non-life threatening.
