Lauderhill police searching for clues after 2 men fatally shot

Lauderhill police investigating double murder

LAUDERHILL -- Police were searching for clues early Thursday after two men were shot and killed Wednesday night in a Lauderhill parking lot, authorities said.

Officers were called to the 800 block of Blueberry Court shortly after 9 p.m. on a report of gunfire. 

When they arrived, they found the victims who had been shot. Both men, whose identities were pending, died at the scene, according to police. 

Investigators did not say if they know what led to the gunfire or if the victims knew the person who shot them.

A resident in the area where the bodies were found heard the gunfire and feared for their safety.

The resident captured sound of the gunfire on a ring camera of the moments the shooting occurred during the darkness.    

A woman who spoke to CBS 4 said it was not the first time she has heard gunfire in her neighborhood.

"I heard a barrage of bullets . . .  and I was wondering what was going on," the resident said on condition of anonymity. "It was definitely terrifying. I'm really saddened right now."

Police were investigating if a third person was shot during the incident and left the scene before police arrived.

Officials said a person with a gunshot wound sought treatment at a local hospital in Tamarac but it was not clear if that was related to the parking lot slayings.

Police asked anyone with information to call 911 or the Broward County Crimestoppers at 954-493-8477.
