LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Detectives are searching for the two armed robbers who killed a 29-year-old father of two while robbing him in Lauderhill.
Detectives released surveillance videos on Wednesday that shows a blue car. The driver was waiting near a gate at the Cassa at Georgetown community. When Michael Leslie’s car arrived, the driver of the blue car followed him inside.
Surveillance video also shows the two armed robbers approached Leslie from behind after he knocked on the door of a home in the area of Northwest 34th Way and Northwest 13th Street. After the ambush, Leslie didn’t resist the robbers and said, “Take everything! Take everything!
Leslie was removing a gold chain from his neck when a gunman pistol-whipped him. Video also shows Leslie running away and the suspects running after him. He was shot at about 4:25 a.m. on Feb. 1, according to Lt. Michael Santiago, a spokesman for the Lauderhill Police Department.
“He actually said, ‘I am giving it to you!’ And you still killed him,” said Leslie’s mother, Sabrina Leslie.
Fire Rescue personnel took Leslie to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale where doctors later pronounced him dead. He was a member of the New Mount Oliver Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale and co-founded Grabba Shakes, a producer of organic pre-crushed tobacco, based out of North Lauderdale.
“They have taken a piece of me,” Sabrina Leslie said.
