A man arrested in a double shooting<\/a> during what authorities said was a drug deal gone wrong in Miami-Dade earlier this year is now facing charges in an alleged sexual battery and kidnapping case from 2024 in Broward, records showed.<\/p>\n

Brian Laoz, 22, was booked into Broward’s Main Jail on Wednesday on two counts of armed sexual battery, and one count each of armed kidnapping, aggravated assault with a firearm, attempted armed robbery and false imprisonment, records showed.<\/p>\n

Court records show the alleged kidnapping and sexual battery incident happened Feb. 27, 2024, and was investigated by Fort Lauderdale Police.<\/p>\n

Further details weren’t available.<\/p>\n

Laoz was arrested this past February on attempted murder and other charges in the double shooting that happened in the area of Southwest 266th Street and 138th Avenue.<\/p>\n

According to an arrest report, one of the people who was shot stated that they were in the area to buy drugs when they were ambushed by a person on foot who shot at their car.<\/p>\n

The two people who were shot were hospitalized, and Laoz was arrested a few days after the Feb. 17 shooting.<\/p>\n

Laoz claimed the shooting was in self-defense<\/a> and that earlier in the day, one of the victims threatened his life, but surveillance video “appears to conflict with the defendants statement or notion of self-defense,” the arrest report said.<\/p>\n

Laoz appeared before a Broward judge on Thursday and remains behind bars without bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man arrested in a double shooting during what authorities said was a drug deal gone wrong in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[506,249,251,250],"class_list":["post-312372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-broward-county","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
