BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Cellphone video released Thursday by the Broward Sheriff’s Office shows an apparent road rage incident that occurred last week near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
According to BSO spokeswoman Gerdy St. Louis, the incident was reported around 7 p.m. April 29 near the 300 block of Terminal Drive.
Detectives with BSO’s Violent Crimes Unit said the victim was trying to leave the airport after picking up her daughter when another driver became aggressive.
“According to the victim, while attempting to exit the airport, she turned on her left blinker and tried to change lanes,” St. Louis said in a news release. “The victim stated that once her blinker was on, an unknown subject in a black Dodge Durango sped up beside her and refused to allow her to switch lanes. Detectives say the victim slowed down, managed to change lanes, and ended up directly behind the Durango. Once behind the vehicle, the driver of the Durango applied his brakes, forcing the victim to switch lanes once again.”
According to St. Louis, after she was no longer behind the Durango, the victim passed the vehicle as her daughter recorded the incident with her cellphone.
“Cellphone footage shows the driver pointing a black handgun at the victim and her daughter,” St. Louis said. “Immediately after seeing the daughter’s cellphone, the subject conceals the weapon and flees toward South Federal Highway.”
Anyone with information about the driver’s identity is asked to call Detective Lisa Almanza Londono at 754-333-0693 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App.
