Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit are
investigating the circumstances surrounding a deadly shooting in
Lauderdale Lakes.
At approximately 11 a.m. on
Sunday, April 7, BSO deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded
to a shooting call near the 3100 block of Northwest 41st Street. On
scene, emergency crews located Justys Whittle and Shakeif Brown
suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics pronounced Whittle
deceased on scene and transported Brown to an area hospital, where he
died.
According to witnesses, Whittle attempted
to fight Brown over an ongoing feud. During the altercation, another
subject attempted to defuse the fight when Whittle pulled out a gun and
fired multiple shots. The subject, who was also armed, then pulled out
his weapon and returned fire.
The subject was
taken into custody for questioning and later released. Detectives say,
upon completion of their investigation, the case will be presented to
the Broward County State Attorney's Office for review.
