Police are searching for tips after a Broward woman who was trying to sell an iPhone through the online app Offer Up was shot in the head when she met up with the prospective buyer this weekend.
Broward Sheriff's spokeswoman Gina Carter tells news outlets the injuries the woman suffered Sunday aren't life-threatening. Detectives are trying to find the man.
Carter says the man asked the woman and her fiance to take him to an ATM after meeting at an agreed location in North Lauderdale. Security cameras captured the man walking inside a convenience store at 7100 W. McNab Road and pretending to use the ATM. When he returned, the couple noted he was acting strangely.
Carter says the man pulled out a gun and demanded both their phones. As they drove away, he fired a shot that pierced the right side of the woman's head. She was rushed by her fiance to a Tamarac hospital, where she was treated and released.
BSO says the shooter was approximately 5'4" tall with a medium build, dark complexion and short dark hair. He wore a blue Puma tracksuit and white athletic shoes. A reward of up to $3,000 is being offered for tips leading to an arrest.
Anyone with information is advised to call Broward CrimeStoppers or the Broward Sheriff's Office.
