Police are looking for a gunman after a man was shot and robbed inside a Miramar home.
Miramar Police units responded to a report of a male victim with a gunshot wound in the area of Miramar Parkway and Southwest 147th Terrace, near a Residence Inn by Marriott, at around 1:50 a.m. on Sunday.
“Caller advising that he was robbed and shot,” a dispatcher said over the Broadcastify police scanner.
Investigators said the victim was confronted by an unknown man who demanded his watch, then shot him and took off with the watch.
“Our last update was that he was shot in the leg,” a dispatcher said.
The watch is estimated to cost nearly $30,000, according to the Sun Sentinel.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office K-9 and Aviation units helped search the area but were unable to locate the shooter.
“Subject had a mask on. Unknown direction of travel,” a dispatcher said.
Residents of the apartment complex said it’s a safe and friendly community but know the importance of always being on guard.
“Well it is unsettling but it is the world today. I was raised in New Orleans so I was always raised to watch forward, backward, side and beware of your surroundings, “said Carol Smith.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Detectives believe the subject fled the area, as they continue to investigate.
If you have any information on this robbery and shooting or the subject’s whereabouts, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
