HOLLYWOOD – Police are investigating a shooting at the Hollywood Jaycee Hall event venue parking lot that left four people shot. Two of those people have died.
Police say the shooting happened around 1 a.m. Sunday morning.
John Challenor initially thought the gunshots were just door knocks.
“I’m saying that’s odd. Knock knock again” Challenor said. “I open the door and I hear it again. Bang bang bang. Come to find out it was a shooting.”
He was down the street from the Jaycee Hall on Hollywood Blvd.
Upon arrival, officers found four gunshot victims. One was pronounced dead at the scene.
The three remaining victims were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital where a second victim died. Investigators haven’t released the names yet.
The event venue is right on Hollywood Blvd and I-95 South, near Stan Goldman Park.
Police said an altercation happened just before the shooting. The hall manager said all of this was happening during a baby shower.
“They just had it set up like a baby shower. So I don’t know understand why somebody would have gotten involved in a shooting,” said Deborah Gronvold.
In the video, the area is cordoned off with crime tape.
Police have several people of interest but no arrests have been made.
“What we can tell you is that we do believe this is an isolated incident,” said Hollywood Police Information Officer Deanna Bettineschi. Hollywood police are asking anyone with information regarding this shooting to contact the department at (954) 764-4357. Or call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954)493-8477.
