A Florida mother has died from gunshot wounds she suffered in a gang-related mass shooting Monday at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, officials said.The unnamed 29-year-old — who was among eight people shot in the bloodbath — was trying to enjoy the holiday event with her young daughter, said St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara.
"I’m here to sadly report that one of those victims died this morning," he said. "She’s a Fort Pierce native who was at the party with her 6-year-old daughter. And now what was a shooting investigation has turned into a murder investigation."
Shots erupted just after 5 p.m. during the MLK Car Show and Family Fun Day at Ilous Ellis Park, where roughly 1,000 revelers had gathered at what was billed as a family-friendly event.
