{Coconut Creek Police}
A woman who allegedly led authorities on a stolen car pursuit — and injured a Coconut Creek police officer and Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy — is now facing a felony murder charge in connection with the incident that began in Coconut Creek, authorities said.
The suspect identified herself to law enforcement as Anna Giza, 52, according to BSO. Detectives said they were working to confirm her identity.
Authorities did not provide details about the felony murder charge, including when and how that alleged crime took place.
According to investigators, Giza was involved in a vehicle pursuit on Thursday that began shortly after 4 p.m. when BSO deputies assisted Coconut Creek Police with a stolen vehicle investigation originating out of Fort Lauderdale. BSO’s involvement in the incident began near Sample Road and the Florida Turnpike.
Authorities said the driver of the stolen vehicle, later identified as Giza, struck a marked BSO patrol unit and then struck a marked Coconut Creek Police vehicle. Authorities pursued the stolen car, which fled and entered the Florida Turnpike heading south, according to BSO.
Both the BSO deputy and the Coconut Creek police officer whose vehicles were struck were transported to area hospitals for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Paramedics also transported Giza to a local hospital for treatment of injuries suffered during the incident. Her injuries are not expected to be life-threatening, authorities said.
In addition to facing charges of murder by another while engaged in a specific felony (felony murder), Giza faces charges of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer (two counts), aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated fleeing with serious injury or death, grand theft auto, and resisting an officer without violence, according to BSO.
An investigation by BSO and the Florida Highway Patrol is ongoing, authorities said.
