MIRAMAR, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are investigating a domestic shooting that unfolded in a residential area in Miramar, resulting in the loss of one life.
According to Miramar Police, the incident occurred in the area of Southwest 39th Street and 62nd Avenue, early Friday morning.
Cameras captured a significant police presence at the scene, as well as evidence markers on the ground, as officers blocked off portions of the neighborhood.
Police said there was a fight between two men who had a romantic history with the same woman.
Detectives said the suspected shooter is the current boyfriend of the woman who drove the victim to the hospital, while the deceased was her former boyfriend.
“I know a couple of people down that way, and I just hope it’s not them,” said area resident Steven Marcellus. “I’m nervous and kind of sad right now.”
Miramar Police spokesperson Tania Rues confirmed that the shooting was domestic in nature. The suspected shooter is now in custody and is reportedly cooperating with the investigation.
“We still have a lot of work to do, but the community is safe,” said Rues. “There’s no danger to the community.”
Police said the victim was being transported to the hospital by his ex-girlfriend, and as his conditioned worsened, she called 911.
Despite paramedics arriving quickly, the man succumbed to his injuries.
Though the victim’s identity remains undisclosed, a man claiming to be the uncle of a 28-year-old individual approached 7News crews at the scene.
“Right now I don’t know,” he said. “They just called me and said my nephew got shot. Then I just came here to see what’s going on, but I don’t really know anything.”
Miramar Police continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding this domestic shooting.
“It is an unfortunate incident,” said Rues. “We have seen these shootings where people in the moment, things happened, and we can’t go into specifics because we have lots of interviews to do and lots of information to gather at this point of time.”
Following the investigation, authorities will determine whether or not any charges will be filed against the shooter.
