Teen critical after Fort Lauderdale shooting was biding Army friend goodbye, mom says
A small gathering to say goodbye to a young woman in the Army who was about to be deployed ended in gunfire early Sunday morning in Fort Lauderdale. Three people were shot after two masked robbers approached them, and one teen remains hospitalized, his mother told the Miami Herald Monday evening. Richard Murray II, a 19-year-old business and finance student at Florida Atlantic University, was injured after three people were shot on the top floor of a parking garage on the 200 block of Las Olas Circle, his mother, Celeste Thompson, said. He remains in critical condition at Broward Health Medical Center. Murray, who was shot twice, was struck by gunfire in the leg, but the bullet traveled upward and caused damage to his stomach, Thompson said. He is having his third surgery on Tuesday morning. Thompson, who is a middle school teacher, said that her son is a student-athlete who racked up numerous academic accolades in high school. He played football, graduated with a 5.0 GPA and aspires to one day open a finance company that makes it on the Fortune 500 rankings. 'He was full of life,' she said. 'I need him to come back.' Murray and his friends were listening to music and looking over Las Olas from the parking garage, Thompson said, when multiple people approached them. Thompson said the assailants were masked and were attempting to rob the group. Thompson also told the Herald that she was contacted by a police detective for the first time on Monday. The shooting occurred hours before the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup parade on the beach. 'It's disheartening,' she said. 'It felt like [it wasn't] not important to anyone but me.... A parade shouldn't supersede what's happening in our backyard.' Authorities haven't released the identities or conditions of those injured. Thompson said the two other injured people were her son's friends and have since been released from the hospital. Investigators haven't made any arrests, and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department told the Herald it didn't have any new information about the shooting as of Monday evening. Thompson pleaded with anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. 'Someone had to see something,' Thompson said. 'They have to find these people. We need to know why.' Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Fort Lauderdale Police Department at 954-828-5700 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.

‘I'm in the water.' 911 calls reveal moments after deadly Broward boat explosion
A flurry of newly released 911 calls shed light on a chaotic and fatal boat explosion off Fort Lauderdale on Memorial Day. Some callers witnessed watching the blast from the shore; others were in the water screaming for help. On May 26, a 39-foot Sea Ray burst into flames in the Intracoastal Waterway, near the large sandbar by the New River. Fourteen people were aboard, but only eleven people — including two young children — were hospitalized with injuries. Some were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's burn unit in Miami, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said. READ MORE: Boat explodes off the beach in Fort Lauderdale, fire-rescue says Among the injured, Joshua Fifi, a 29-year-old who lived in Fort Lauderdale, died from his injuries. One of the first 911 callers witnessed the blast from the Lauderdale Yacht Club and described the loud explosion, followed by flames and billowing smoke, according to the latest release from Fort Lauderdale Police Department. 'These people flew off the boat,' he said in the call. 'I just saw these people panicking and in the water.' Another caller on a different vessel reported that people were jumping off the sinking boat to the dispatcher. She also began screaming over to them, 'Get off the boat!' One call began with screams and crying, followed by a woman desperately telling dispatchers, 'I'm in the water.' The woman continued to say there was a 'marine emergency' as a boat was on fire. Of those on board, she said there was a passed-out passenger and a pet. 'We're all separated,' she said, adding that nearby boaters were helping them as several people had been burned. 'We have kids on board.'
