LAUDERHILL, Fla. — Crime scene tape surrounded a Lauderhill home Friday afternoon as police investigated a fatal shooting.
According to the Lauderhill Police Department, officers responded to the 1500 block of Northwest 33rd Avenue at around 1:15 p.m. and found the wounded victim.
Police said medics took the man to Broward Health Medical Center, where doctors pronounced him dead. Authorities have not yet released his name.
An LPD spokesperson said a “motive is currently unknown” and police had not identified a suspect or suspects.
Neighbors told Local 10 News they heard about four gunshots.
“I heard shots fired. Then I started to hear the girl crying and screaming. Then when I came outside, I saw the deceased person on the stretcher, blood was coming out his nose and head,” neighbor Alsia Shakir said. “I was just in the house watching a movie and then I just hear shots fired. I hurry up and run to the living room, and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’”
Anyone with information on the “active” investigation is asked to call LPD at 954-497-4700 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
