That man identified himself as the caretaker of the victim, though it was not immediately clear whether he faces charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">About 13 miles away in Dania Beach, a Local 10 News crew spotted Sunrise police surrounding a purple Chevrolet sedan. Police sources told Local 10 News the vehicle was connected to the shooting as investigators tracked down the suspect before the arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police said the incident appears to be isolated and there is no ongoing threat to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">No other details about the shooting were immediately released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Anyone with information on the case is urged to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Saira Anwer\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/c1f7fa2d-907b-4fe7-80.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Saira Anwer<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Saira Anwer joined the Local 10 News team in July 2018.
