That suspect has since been identified as Napolian Marquez Powell, 27, of Lauderhill. <\/p>\n

Powell has an extensive criminal history that includes drug charges, grand theft and resisting arrest. <\/p>\n

Witnesses described hearing a rapid barrage of gunfire during the confrontation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey keep telling him to put his hands up \u2013 \u2018Let me see your hands,\u2019\u201d witness Gregory Jackson said. \u201cI guess the guy didn\u2019t reply. Next thing I know, I hear almost 30 shots coming from the guns. I dropped my phone and ran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson said he scrambled for cover as the shooting unfolded.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I heard those gunshots, man, I went for cover,\u201d he said. \u201cI went to take cover up under my car, got skinned up in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Witness speaks out after man killed in shooting involving BSO deputies, Plantation officer A man was shot and killed Monday after an encounter with Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and a Plantation police officer in Davie, according to investigators. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday, investigators returned to the scene, focusing their attention on the bushes and the fast food restaurant\u2019s drive-thru as they searched for additional evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a crazy, horrific sight that I seen yesterday,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen nothing like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony, deputies initially encountered Powell in the parking lot of a Wawa across the street while attempting to serve an active arrest warrant. He said the suspect ran from deputies while holding a gun.<\/p>\n

Deputies pursued the man for roughly 100 feet before tackling him in an effort to take him into custody, Tony said.<\/p>\n

According to the sheriff, Powell was wanted for fleeing and eluding police and detectives believed DNA evidence may connect him to other crimes. He did not provide details about those investigations.<\/p>\n

The sheriff also said investigators had intelligence indicating Powell previously told others that if law enforcement attempted to arrest him, he intended to force a \u201csuicide by police\u201d confrontation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the suspect fired his own gun during the confrontation. <\/p>\n

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting. <\/p>\n
