An Oakland Park man has been arrested in connection with his girlfriend’s fatal shooting back in January, records showed.<\/p>\n
Miguel Hernandez, 41, was arrested Sunday on charges including manslaughter with a firearm and drug possession, Broward jail records showed.<\/p>\n
The incident happened back on Jan. 24 near the 4000 block of Northeast 8th Avenue.<\/p>\n
According to an incident report, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a shooting call and found Hernandez’s girlfriend, who’d been shot in the head and was lying in a pool of blood near the doorway of an efficiency.<\/p>\n
Hernandez was nearby sobbing with his hands covered in blood and appeared distraught while shouting “help her, help her,” the report said.<\/p>\n
The girlfriend was hospitalized in critical condition and later died.<\/p>\n
Investigators searched the efficiency where Hernandez and his girlfriend lived and found a gun on top of clothing in a laundry basket just inside, the report said.<\/p>\n
Hernandez had a glass pipe in his pocket and just inside the doorway of the efficiency was a pouch and two small glass pipes, the report said.<\/p>\n
Court records filed last week said Hernandez was charged after he caused his girlfriend’s death “and\/or assisted in [her] self-murder, to wit: by handing her a loaded firearm and encouraging her to kill herself.”<\/p>\n
After his arrest, Hernandez appeared before a judge who ordered him held without bond.<\/p>\n
“It is a unique and very unfortunate set of facts,” the judge said. “It’s not a run of the mill case, it’s a very unusual and unfortunate set of facts.”<\/p>\n
