A woman who was shot, identified by police on Tuesday as 28-year-old Tiarra Holliday, of Plantation, was pronounced dead at the scene.
One man who was shot, 45-year-old Sheldon Lawrence, of Fort Lauderdale, died at a local hospital.
The 2-year-old and two adults who were injured were treated for non-life threatening injuries. Their identities haven't been released.
A possible motive for the shooting wasn't released.
Lawrence's sister spoke with NBC6 on Thursday, saying he was a father, a brother, and was expecting his first grandchild.
"He was a gentle giant," she said. "This is where he grew up kind of, he sat somewhere where he felt safe, in his community where he felt safe."
The sister said Lawrence's death is the most recent tragedy to hit the family.
"Nobody deserves this and nobody should ever have to go through this," she said. "We was all we had left, my mom is gone, we just lost a sibling in 2019 and here we are yet again, burying another one."
Police said Thursday that the sedan was found abandoned shortly after the shooting, but the suspects haven't been identified.
"I pray for all the victims, I even pray for the ones who committed this heinous crime, I pray God have mercy on their souls," Lawrence's sister said.
Police are seeking the suspects and are asking anyone with information to call them at 954-828-5931.
