MIAMI, FLORIDA – The Broward Sheriff’s Office has increased the reward to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator involved in a tragic Mother’s Day shooting in 2022 that claimed the life of a young woman. Dru’Niyyia Griffin, who was left paralyzed by the shooting nearly two years ago, finally succumbed to her injuries in May after a valiant two-year battle for survival.
The incident occurred late at night on May 8, 2022, in unincorporated Central Broward near Fort Lauderdale. Griffin, who was 20 years old at the time, was found in her black Honda Accord with multiple gunshot wounds when authorities responded to the scene. Tragically, she was not the only victim of the attack as a man also sustained injuries but was fortunately treated and released from the hospital.
Reportedly, Griffin and the man were sitting inside her parked vehicle outside a residence they were visiting when shots were fired from a passing vehicle, believed to be a dark SUV. Surveillance footage released by the Broward Sheriff’s Office revealed a barrage of bullets fired from the suspect’s car.
The case has since been handed over to homicide detectives, who are still on the hunt for the shooter responsible for Griffin’s untimely death. They are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and assist in solving the case. Authorities are soliciting help from the public and encouraging individuals to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS with any relevant details.
The tragic shooting on Mother’s Day left a community devastated, prompting the Broward Sheriff’s Office to increase the reward in hopes of incentivizing potential witnesses to come forward. The loss of Griffin, who fought courageously for her life for two years following the shooting, has left a void in the hearts of her loved ones and the local community.
As investigations continue and the search for the shooter intensifies, authorities remain committed to seeking justice for Dru’Niyyia Griffin and bringing closure to her family. The community’s support and cooperation are crucial in ensuring that those responsible for this senseless act of violence are held accountable for their actions.
