An argument between a father and daughter over a messy bedroom is behind a drive-by double shooting in Pompano Beach, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.
According to the arrest report, the 17-year-old daughter was kicked out of the house because she refused to clean her bedroom, so she called her 19-year-old boyfriend and told him to come by and shoot her father.
Johani Yahir Barron drove up just before 4 p.m. May 18. The 17-year-old stormed out of the house followed by her father, his girlfriend, and a 13-year-old.
They started to argue and Barron fired several shots. The girl’s father and his girlfriend were each struck in their left thigh. The 13-year-old was not hit. The 17-year-old drove off with Barron, the report stated.
