The Miramar Police Department reported a drive-by triple shooting early Sunday morning, resulting in the death of a popular South Florida influencer.
Brianna Johnson, 21, was riding in a lime green luxury SUV with two other passengers when gunfire erupted, authorities said. Surveillance video captured the shooting, which unfolded around 5:30 a.m., just hours after the Fourth of July holiday.
Johnson was known for sharing lifestyle and beauty content and had nearly 500,000 followers across social media platforms. Her TikTok account had about 388,000 followers, while her Instagram account had roughly 88,800 followers.
According to police, Johnson was traveling in a lime green Lamborghini Urus when the SUV reached an intersection and a white sedan "pulled alongside the driver's side and opened fire, striking three occupants." Surveillance video appears to show a light-colored sedan following the victims' Lamborghini down the street before gunfire erupts.
Moments later, the Lamborghini was seen drifting through the intersection before crashing into a nearby house as the suspected shooter's vehicle sped away. Police said they were alerted to the shooting after receiving multiple ShotSpotter notifications in the area.
Miramar Police Chief described the gunfire as rapid-fire. Photos circulating on social media show the Lamborghini riddled with a dozen bullet holes along its doors.
The three victims had attended a large party at a nearby home before the shooting. Investigators believe the victims' luxury SUV was then targeted and followed, according to reports.
Johnson ultimately "succumbed to her injuries," police said. The two other occupants were rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.
A woman identifying herself as Johnson's cousin shared a series of Instagram Stories mourning her death and identifying the victim as the South Florida influencer. Numerous fans also began flooding Johnson's social media accounts with messages of condolence.
Police said the shooting remains an active and ongoing homicide investigation.
