Desiree Chanel Brown, 36, was killed in a drive-by style attack in Miami on April 5, 2025. Brown, a Transportation Security Administration agent, was riding in a dark-colored SUV in Biscayne Gardens at about 1:05 a.m. with two children—a 12-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl—when multiple shooters approached and opened fire, striking all three occupants.

All three were taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Brown died of her injuries; the two children were listed in critical condition. The vehicle belonged to Brown’s boyfriend; the children were Brown’s daughter and her boyfriend’s son. Investigators say multiple suspects were involved and no arrests have been announced. The family believes Brown was not the intended target and has described her as a loving mother, daughter, and dedicated TSA officer.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew Desiree or saw the vehicle in Biscayne Gardens around 1:05 a.m. on April 5, can you share what you remember?
