A 17-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on a major thoroughfare Sunday night in Miramar; his girlfriend who was riding in the passenger seat survived.
Johnnie Henderson, of Miami-Dade County, and his 17-year-old girlfriend were driving south near the 3600 block of University Drive shortly before 8 p.m. when they were shot at from a passing car, said Tania Rues, Miramar Police spokesperson. Both Henderson and the girl in the passenger seat were shot.
