Tux of Borg Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI36909/ Triple shooting kills woman, critically injures son and his girlfriend MIAMI (WSVN) -- The family of a woman shot to death after being ambushed inside her vehicle is asking why their mother and grandmother had to lose her life. Police say 47-year-old Monique Jean was killed in Monday's triple shooting, which occurred just after 10 a.m. in the area of Northwest 2nd Avenue and 79th Street when a Lincoln Navigator and a Volvo surrounded the SUV occupied by Jean, her son and his girlfriend. Several suspects wearing hoods and armed with automatic weapons boxed in Jean's SUV before exiting their own vehicles and shooting at the woman's car. All three occupants were shot several times before the gunmen re-entered their cars and fled the area, heading south on Northwest 2nd Avenue. Authorities quickly arrived on the scene and set up a perimeter between Northwest 2nd Avenue and Interstate 95. Rescue crews arrived shortly after to transport the victims to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where Jean was later pronounced dead. The two other victims, whose names have not been released, remain hospitalized in extremely critical condition. Officials with the Miami-Dade Police Department say the shooting reflects the kind of violence that should not be seen on streets in the United States. "We hear everyday in the news about ambushes in Iraq, like this one," said Lt. Bill Schwarts. "We think about movies like The Godfather where this happens. We don't consider this happening on our own home turf in Miami. It has to stop." Authorities continue to search for the suspects as they try to determine what may have motivated the shooting. Anyone with information on a possible motive or the identity of the suspects is asked to contact Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
