A man was arrested in a deadly shooting along A1A in Fort Lauderdale early Tuesday, authorities said.
Police said they were called to a shooting in the 1400 block of North Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard at around 2:30 a.m.
While on their way there, officers were advised that there was a man who may have been involved in the shooting “walking in an unknown direction holding a black t-shirt.”
When police got to the scene, they found a vehicle that had crashed into the seawall. Inside, the driver was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The victim was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Meanwhile, “several other officers arrived on scene and located a subject fitting the description provided,” according to authorities. That man was detained.
Police said the suspect is currently in police custody. The identities of those involved have not been released.
A Ring doorbell camera video obtained by NBC6 showed a shirtless man who appeared to be armed going door-to-door in the Fort Lauderdale neighborhood shortly after 2:30 a.m.
He’s seen walking up to a home with a duffel bag before he puts it down and bangs on the door, then walks away. A few minutes later, he returns, appearing to still be armed, as he grabs the bag and walks away.
“They were yelling and screaming at each other and then gunshots,” said Daniel Caden, who heard the gunshots.
Police confirmed that the man was arrested on unrelated charges, but haven’t confirmed that he was the gunman.
The shooting remains under investigation.
