A 6-year-old boy was killed Wednesday night as his relatives watched the same driver hit him twice before driving off at a Miramar McDonald’s, police said.
D’Andre Binns was pronounced dead at Memorial Regional Hospital and Miramar police have been searching, so far in vain, for the killer who drove a white car, possibly a Dodge Charger with 22-inch rims
“It’s a horrific scene,” police spokeswoman Tania Rues said
“We just need one phone call, one tip to catch the person who did this,” Rues said. “The car obviously has front-end damage, probably a shattered windshield. It should be easy to spot.”
D’Andre was hit by the white car as he crossed the 6200 block of Miramar Parkway in front of the McDonald’s where his family had just gotten food.
A relative, identified as either the boy’s uncle or father, was crossing the street with D’Andre’s cousin in his arms. He was probably unaware the boy was following him, Rues said.
That’s when the white car hit D’Andre, who smashed into the car’s windshield. The driver swerved multiple times and D’Andre fell off the car, Rues said. The car then ran over D’Andre, drove off and was last seen heading south on State Road 7/U.S. 441.
D’Andre’s mother, who was sitting in a parked car at the McDonald’s when he slipped away, saw her child killed.
“She is distraught,” Rues said.
Anyone with information should call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
