Ana Estevez, a 23-year-old Hispanic female preschool teacher from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, tragically lost her life on November 27, 2022, in a road rage incident on Interstate 95. Estevez, who worked at the Nurtury Montessori School and was a student at Florida Atlantic University, was driving with her boyfriend when their vehicle was sideswiped by a white BMW. The driver of the BMW opened fire, hitting Estevez multiple times.
Despite being rushed to Broward Health Medical Center, she succumbed to her injuries.
The incident occurred as Estevez and her boyfriend were returning from a Thanksgiving trip. The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Jahkobi Williams, was later arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Williams, who was driving a newer model white BMW 840i series, was apprehended after an extensive investigation by the Broward Sheriff's Office. The investigation revealed that Williams had also been involved in another shooting on the same day, targeting a juvenile female in a separate vehicle.
Estevez's death has left her family and community in deep mourning. Her sister, Mary Estevez, described her as a loving and dedicated individual who was passionate about her work with children. Estevez's family has expressed their grief and called for justice, emphasizing the senselessness of the violence that took her life. The case has drawn significant attention, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
The legal proceedings against Williams are ongoing, with charges including first-degree murder with a firearm and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. The arrest and subsequent charges have provided some measure of relief to Estevez's family, who continue to seek justice for her untimely death.
