Investigators said two gunmen, Blue and Sanford, had approached the victims as they were outside near a vehicle.
Sanford started struggling with Barbosa, and Blue began struggling with the woman, officials said.
The woman managed to get into a car and begin driving before she was shot by Blue, causing her to crash the vehicle, officials said.
During the other struggle, Sanford threw Barbosa to the ground, and Sanford and Blue then shot him multiple times, detectives said.
According to detectives, the woman and Blue were known to one another.
Blue and Sanford remained held without bond Thursday, Broward jail records showed.
