TikToker and influencer Brianna Johnson (21 years old, known on social media as ItGirlBri or DreamDoll Bri), passed away after being a victim of a shooting in the early hours of Sunday, July 5th in Miramar, Florida.
The attack occurred in the early hours during the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, as Bri was leaving a party at a vacation apartment and traveling in a Lamborghini SUV with two men. A white BMW opened fire on them. After being hit, the Lamborghini traveled a block, ran a stop sign, and ended up crashing into a house. The alert system notified the police, and the crash was captured by a neighbor's doorbell camera.
Miramar Police Chief Delrish Moss stated that the vehicle was specifically targeted, ruling out an ongoing threat to the community. They are currently investigating if the suspects followed the car from the party.
The police have a limited profile of the shooter, but no arrests have been made and no one has been formally identified.
Residents of the area expressed fear, describing the neighborhood as a close-knit and peaceful community where they had never experienced anything like this before. Some initially mistook the gunshots for fireworks. The 21-year-old had a large following (over 365,000 TikTok followers and around 80,000 on Instagram), with her popularity mainly boosted by her viral song "Bend Ova".
