Investigation underway after man shot in Lauderhill, police say

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Police were searching for clues after a man was shot early Thursday in Lauderhill, authorities said.

Police were called shortly after 7:30 a.m. to 5580 W. Oakland Park Blvd. after receiving an anonymous call about a shooting inside a vehicle.

When first responders arrived, they found the man, who was taken for treatment to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was listed in serious condition, authorities said.

Based on a description from an anonymous caller, a patrol officer stopped another vehicle that could possibly be linked to the incident and detained a man inside that vehicle. 

Police have not said how the second man may be linked to the shooting, if the two men knew each other or what may have led to the gunfire.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Lauderhill Police Department.
