Deadly shooting at Broward condo complex investigated as act of self-defense, police say
An investigation is underway in Sunrise after police says a man was shot and killed at a condo complex on Wednesday night.
Few details have been released by police, but they told CBS News Miami that officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 7600 block of Northwest 42nd Street just after 8 p.m.
That's the location of the Sunpointe Springs Condominium Complex.
"It was crazy," one neighbor who didn't want to be identified told CBS News Miami. "It was five quick pops – pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Real quick. And i didn't think anything of it. I thought fireworks."
When police arrived, they said they found a man dead.
AJ Elbuelbis, who lives just feet away from the spot where the man was killed, says the gunfire woke him up.
He's not sure whether the shooter or the man who died lived in the complex.
"My gosh, I thought it was fireworks," he said.
"Everybody in this neighborhood is to tight knit," Leah Rushford said. "I'm nervous to find out who it is. You know? If my son plays with their parents, something. So, it's very scary. But it's sad. We have to end gun violence."
In a Thursday afternoon update, Sunrise police told CBS News Miami that the shooting stemmed from an argument between two men, during which one of them shot the other.
They are not releasing the name of either the shooter or the man who died.
Police said the shooting is being investigated as an act of self-defense and appears to be an isolated incident.
No arrests have been made, and there is no threat to the public.
The identities of those involved in the shooting have not been released, and the investigation is ongoing.
