FORT LAUDERDALE - Three people died as a result of an overnight shooting in West Park.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said just after midnight they received reports of a shooting in the 4100 block of Southwest 21st Street.

"I heard gunshots I hit the floor and that was it," said a person who lives in the area.

Arriving deputies found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital but didn't survive.

"On scene deputies also located another adult male with gunshot wounds, that individual was pronounced deceased here on the scene," said sheriff's office spokesman Carey Codd.

Deputies learned that a teen had also been shot and driven to the hospital. He too died from his injuries.

A friend told CBS 4 News that one of the victims was well-known, a performer.  "He's a good person. Everybody loved him.  He's a local rapper," she said.  

A family member told us he leaves behind a 3-week-old daughter.  

Investigators have not released any of the victims' names. They have not revealed a motive either. 

If you have information about who is responsible call Broward Crimestoppers ats 954-493-TIPS.
