A man has died after being shot multiple times Sunday night in Lauderhill, police confirmed.

According to Lauderhill police, the shooting was reported just before 10:15 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 6800 block of Landings Drive.

“It was about 12 to 15 rounds,” one neighbor said. “It was like ‘bam, bam, bam, bam.’ All of us were hitting the deck. Super loud. I’ve heard shotguns before so I knew it was right outside because they were that close and that loud.”

Police said officers arrived at the scene and found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

“At first I heard like talking and then screaming, and then there were a lot of gunshots,” a woman who lives at the complex said. “We turned off the TV and stuff, and then a couple minutes later we heard the police and ambulance and everything.”

Lauderhill Fire Rescue medics pronounced the victim dead at the scene, authorities said.

Detectives say a motive for the shooting remains unclear and there are no known suspects at this time.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Lauderhill Police Department at 954-497-4700 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 (TIPS).
