Writer For Don Diva Magazine Shot And Killed

Sam Ferguson, a writer for New York based urban publication Don Diva Magazine [click to read], was gunned down on the Florida Turnpike on Friday, August 14. After being shot multiple times and crashing into the concrete divider, Ferguson was pronounced dead on the scene.

A native of Miami, Ferguson was brought onto the Don Diva team only a few months ago to increase the magazines presence in South Florida. Ferguson was also named the president of Don Diva South.

“He was involved in all aspects of our operation,” Tiffany Chiles, Editor-in-chief of Don Diva Magazine told the Miami Herald. “He was helping us gather relevant stories. He was doing interviews, distribution -- he was really trying to market our magazine in Southern and Central Florida.”

Currently, police have found no motive nor do they have any suspects. But police are looking for a black, four-door car that was possibly carrying several passengers.

“We used to think of him as invincible, immortal,” Ferguson’s sister, Daryl Ferguson-Omoruyi explained to the Sun Sentinel. “But he was slaughtered in the afternoon.”

Police are asking that anyone who has information on the shooting contact them at 954-693-8200 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
