The Broward Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred late Sunday night in Pompano Beach.
The shooting was reported shortly before midnight in the area of Avondale Drive and Southwest Second Street, just a few blocks south of the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Interstate 95.
A Local 10 News crew was at the scene as a sheet covered the victim’s body next to the fence of a drug treatment/community release center.
One resident in the area told Local 10′s Trent Kelly that he heard several gunshots go off around midnight.
Deputies confirmed that they found a man who had been shot. Paramedics later pronounced him dead at the scene. He has since been identified as R H.
Surveillance video provided by a resident in the area shows some of the first units arriving at the scene — some using flashlights to search the ground for evidence.
Detectives later returned to the area during daylight hours to examine a large hole in the treatment facility’s fence.
Several neighbors told K off camera that residents of the facility will often come hang out by the fence at night because there’s a hole in it that they can get through.
At this point, a motive for the deadly shooting remains unclear.
Anyone with information is asked to call BSO Homicide Unit Detective John McGlynn at 954-321-4208 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch app. Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477), or submit a tip online at browardcrimestoppers.org, or dial **TIPS (8477) from any cellphone in the United States.
