The video shows the shooter walking up to Menard\u2019s car before firing nine shots.<\/p>\n
The shooter is then seen running back to his car and driving away.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery devastating, we understand that. Like I tell you, but I try to be strong,\u201d the victim\u2019s father, Philippe Menard, said.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows Matt Menard walking to the car just minutes before he was shot and killed.<\/p>\n
Local 10 cameras captured at least three bullet holes in the driver\u2019s side window of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
A truck parked next to it was also hit by gunfire.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s father told Local 10 News that someone set fire to his home\u2019s plants last week, and just days later, someone fired shots at the house.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe heard that at night, but we cannot come out to see. So when we call police, they come here, they take pictures,\u201d Philippe Menard said. <\/p>\n
Philippe Menard described his son as a bright young man, who worked hard as a landscaper, but also ran with the wrong crowd.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s now left wondering if last week\u2019s incidents could be connected to his son\u2019s killing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went to a university — the guy\u2019s (more) knowledgeable than me,\u201d Philippe Menard said. \u201cI didn\u2019t reach that level. I can\u2019t tell him, \u2018Hey, I talk to you and you listen.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Fort Lauderdale Police Department or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.<\/p>\n
