WEST PARK, FLA. (WSVN) - Authorities have released surveillance footage capturing the altercation between two men and a victim in West Park that ended in a fatal shooting.
According to Broward Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives, the incident occurred outside of a tire store located near Southwest 25th Street and 57th Avenue, on Sunday, Jan. 7.
Investigators said deputies responding to a shooting report discovered a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound.
Paramedics rushed the victim to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday, Jan. 9. He was later identified as Serdjy Hyppolite.
The investigation revealed an earlier altercation less than half a mile away, at a Marathon gas station located on the 5500 block of West Hallandale Beach Boulevard.
“[The victim] tried for several minutes to get away from them, but they kept trying to block his avenue of escape,” said BSO Detective Steve Novak. “He finally got away, and they pursued him.”
Investigators said Hyppolite and the two subjects quickly left in their respective cars, later arriving at the scene of the shooting.
“You can see Serdjy driving pretty past with that car right behind him. As he comes around the corner, he loses control, he crashes into a pile of tires,” said Novak.
Investigators believe he was desperately trying to get away from the subjects.
Authorities said the two subjects stopped their car, a silver 2016 or 2017 Honda Accord Sport, next to the victim’s. All three got down from their cars and continued arguing.
“The confrontation became physical, [the subjects] grabbed him, they struggled for a while,” said Novak.
The two men proceeded to beat up Hyppolite, and that’s when, detectives said, at least one shot was fired.
“[The victim] sustained a gunshot wound. One of the subjects continued to punch him several times,” said Novak. “The injuries he sustained that night were severe, and he never regained consciousness.”
Investigators said the subjects got into the Accord and fled the scene.
7News cameras on Wednesday afternoon captured the tire tracks where the victim’s vehicle came to a stop.
BSO officials hope that the release of the surveillance video jogs someone’s memory and leads to the capture of the duo behind Hyppolite’s death.
