“People say I’m a strong individual but I don’t know about this one," she said. "I am just trying to hold on.”
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the shooting took place on Saturday morning at Northeast Second Court and 141st Street.
Deputies said Brown and two children, her 11-year-old daughter, Reagan, and her boyfriend’s 12-year-old son, were found inside a car with several gunshot wounds.
