DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives arrested Travis Jenkins, 20 and Tavian Jenkins, 18, both of Deerfield Beach, Florida, for their alleged involvement in multiple shootings that left one man dead. According to investigators, at approximately 7:16 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a shots fired call near the area of West Hillsboro Boulevard and Southwest 12th Avenue in Deerfield Beach. Upon arrival, deputies learned that Herman Grant and a juvenile passenger were in a white 2020 Mercedes-Benz A220 on West Hillsboro Boulevard and Northwest Third Avenue when they heard multiple gunshots. Several rounds entered the vehicle striking Grant in the back as he continued to drive westbound on Hillsboro Boulevard. 

Grant’s Mercedes-Benz collided with a white pickup truck, coming to a complete stop at West Hillsboro Boulevard and Southwest 12th Avenue. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded and Grant was transported to Broward Health North where he later succumbed to his injuries. 

A preliminary investigation indicated the initial shooting began at approximately 7:10 p.m. at the 101 Liquors store located at 159 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach. Evidence revealed Travis and Tavian were in a white BMW shooting at a dark colored 2016 Audi driven by Randerick Gervin. Witnesses said the white BMW continued to chase the dark colored Audi as it approached West Hillsboro Boulevard and Northwest Third Avenue in Deerfield Beach. 

Gervin’s vehicle was struck multiple times where the initial shooting started. He sustained no injuries and was able to flee the scene.  At this point, Travis and Tavian then began to shoot at Grant’s white 2020 Mercedes-Benz. Both suspects fled following the shootings. A bullet also hit the headrest of a Toyota Camry traveling in that same area. The driver and passenger of the Camry were not injured.
