Jennifer Hernandez, 26, was charged with five counts of attempted first-degree murder and is being held on no bond.
According to the police report, the shooter left multiple vehicles with bullet holes but luckily, no one was injured,
The Hialeah Police Department said they responded to 1175 SE 8th Ave. at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, after reports of shots fired.
The mobile truck uses the parking lot of a closed used car dealership in Hialeah as the place where it sells and serves food, according to police.
When police arrived, they found multiple vehicles with bullet holes and three spent shell casings at the intersection of SE 8th Avenue and SE 11th place.
Officers spoke with five victims, four of whom were identified as patrons of the food truck. Police identified the fifth victim as the truck’s owner-cook.
One of the victims told police that they saw the alleged defendant lower the front, passenger side window of a car and fire multiple shots at the food truck.
One of the women, who police said was “visibly pregnant,” said she was inside her car when she heard numerous shots fired at her and told police that her young daughter was in the car with her. The woman’s front, driver’s side door was struck by gunfire.
The truck’s owner said he was preparing food when numerous shots were fired in his direction.
