A woman is dead after an argument lead to an exchange of gunfire at a Dania Beach bar early Wednesday morning, officials said.
According to Broward Sheriff's Office, the gunfire erupted at Rookies Ale House at 3325 Griffin Road at around 2:50 a.m.
When officers arrived, they say one adult female was found suffering from a gunshot wound. Fire Rescue later pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
Family members identified the victim as 32-year-old Marissa Harris. They said Harris recently moved to Ocala to start a new job, and was back in town for a few days to show off her new car, a white Camaro that was parked at the scene.
Harris' mother said her daughter was "larger than life."
Police are searching for two adult males they say fired at one another after an argument between the two escalated. No descriptions were given.
"The bullet came in through here, they said a piece hit the ceiling and then went through and hit my picture frame,” said Joann Vasil, who owns the barber shop that shares a wall with the bar. "It went through their wall, another wall and a picture frame and into my closet… that’s scary to think if a bullet or gun went off over there that it would come through the walls."
