The toddler shot at a Sunday birthday party in a park died Sunday night, Fort Lauderdale police said.

He was 3 years old.

The boy, whose identity hasn’t been released yet, went to a birthday party at Riverland Park & Pool, 950 SW 27th Ave. Local television cameras showed a playground decorated in a Sesame Street theme beyond crime scene tape after the shooting that occurred around 4:30 p.m.

Social media commentary and transmissions from Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, which took the child to Broward Health Medical Center, indicated drive-by shooters might have been responsible.

Anyone with information can reach out to Crime Stoppers of Broward County either online or at 954-493-8477 (TIPS).

Google's Jigsaw open-sources Altitude to help online platforms weed out extremist content
Google's incubator subsidiary Jigsaw has open-sourced a counterterrorism tool designed to help smaller companies address extremist content shared through their online platforms. While most of the big tech companies including Meta, X and Google itself are well-versed in moderating content to weed out illegal or toxic content, the resources required to do this are beyond the means of many smaller digital players. This is particularly problematic at a time when legislation such as Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA) and terrorism-specific content rules have placed companies under increasing pressure to remove illicit content post-haste.
