A man who was shot Thursday morning at an apartment complex in Miramar has died, authorities confirmed.
The shooting was reported inside the gated Avalon Miramar Park Place apartment complex, located along the 11300 block of Southwest 30th Court.
“It happened around 7 in the morning,” a man named Tico, who lives at the complex, said. “My alarm goes off at 7, so I called the police around 7:05, and it was just one shot — one single shot.”
Miramar police confirmed that a man was transported to a hospital in serious condition, but he has since died from his injuries.
He was identified by police as Alec Mathew Hugh-Sam.
Residents at the complex told Local 10 News that the shooting involved two men.
“Two girls — one of them I guess is the girlfriend — and she started screaming, ‘Alex! (Alec) Alex! (Alec) Don’t die!’” Tico said.
Sky 10 flew over the scene shortly after the shooting as a Broward Sheriff’s Office helicopter was circling around, looking for the shooter. Officers with long guns and a K9 were also spotted on the ground trying to find the person who shot the victim.
“We had gotten a call that the suspect had fled the scene prior to police arrival,” Roy said. “We don’t know if he fled on foot or if it was in a vehicle, so for that reason police did establish a perimeter, which is why you saw so much police activity in the area.”
Inside the apartment complex, the two women were questioned by police and neighbors were also asked if they saw or heard anything. Photos were also taken of evidence at the scene.
“It’s a shame — really a shame — young kid, must be 26 or 27 maybe,” Tico said.
Details about what led up to the shooting have not yet been released.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Miramar Police Department or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
