Florida Slaying Suspect Deadly Police Chase

[kellyhound]

The four victims in a fatal shooting and wild highway police chase in South Florida that ended when the suspect plowed into an innocent woman's car have been identified, and cops say the mayhem may have started as a case of domestic violence.

Antonio Feliu, 48, led police on a harrowing two-county chase Wednesday morning after shooting his ex-girlfriend, Vivian Gallego Martinez, 51, and her daughter Anabel Benitez, 28, at the women's South Miami apartment sometime around 9:30 a.m.

Martinez died at the scene, while Benitez was pronounced dead later at a local hospital.

Feliu then fled in a Mercedes SUV and headed north on U.S. 27, weaving in and out of traffic at upwards of 100 mph.

On the western edge of Broward County, as television choppers followed overhead, Feliu flew through a red light at Griffin Road and slammed into another Mercedes, sending both vehicles skidding off the road.

The other driver, Maritza Medina, 48, was thrown from her car and died at the scene.

The mother-of-two had just dropped her daughter off at high school and was a half-mile from her home.

Feliu survived the impact, but committed suicide with a handgun as Broward sheriff's deputies approached his wrecked vehicle.

The gunshot sparked an hour-long standoff at the crash site as SWAT teams trained high-powered rifles on the wrecked SUV, unsure if the suspected gunman was still alive.

One deputy dragged Medina's body into a safe area in the hopes that she was still alive.

With rifles raised, SWAT team members eventually crept toward the smashed SUV and discovered Felui dead in the driver's seat.

The rampage shook communities in both Broward and Miami-Dade counties, where police were still searching for a motive in the shooting but suspected that Feliu may have been feuding ex-flame Martinez.

Neighbors at the women's South Miami apartment complex said they never noticed any trouble at Martinez and Benitez's home.

"Sometimes the police is there. I never heard anything," one neighbor told.

"It was quiet, but I saw police officers here a few times, but other than that, no arrests, no arguments, just quiet."

Felui's police record showed a 2009 bust for drunk driving and some traffic tickets, but no history of domestic abuse.

Another neighbor told she'd seen Felui driving the Mercedes SUV the day before.

"He waved at me yesterday when he drove by. He's waved before,'' Clinton Woodson said.

Meanwhile, family, friends and neighbors gathered at Medina's west Broward home on Wednesday to grieve.

Medina and her husband, Diego, had been married for two decades and had two daughters, Damarys, a high school senior, and another who was older and did not live at home, according to local reports.

Damarys Medina told, "My dad came to my school when I was at lunch and I was in the office, and he came rushing in. He was crying and I knew from then something was wrong."

Describing their final moments together, the teen said, "(I said) 'Goodbye Mom.' You know, you don't know when you're going to really see her for the last time."

"It's a tragedy. It's so sad," neighbor Barbara Wentzel told. "My heart was just — I couldn't fathom it."
