MIRAMAR, Fla. – Miramar police responded to the scene of a shooting Tuesday morning and found one person dead inside of a vehicle, authorities confirmed.
The incident occurred around 3 a.m. in the 3300 block of South Douglas Road.
A Local 10 News crew was at the scene around 6:30 a.m. as police appeared to be focusing their investigation on a black Nissan that was partially off the roadway outside the Foxcroft community.
According to Miramar police spokeswoman Tania Rues, they received multiple 911 calls from people who heard the sound of gunfire.
Officers arrived at the scene to find the driver dead inside of a car and dozens of casings in the area.
“It was suspicious because it had jumped the curb and it was just parked in an unusual manner,” Rues said.
Detectives spent hours gathering evidence at the scene and checking out the car before the bullet-riddled vehicle was towed away.
Residents in the area couldn’t help but speculate about what occurred.
“Whoever did the shooting, I’m sure they don’t live here because if anybody knows, there’s only one way in and one way out, and how you see the car was positioned, they didn’t know you couldn’t get out from over here,” one resident, Helena, said.
Miramar police say the car the victim was found inside of was rented from outside of the South Florida area.
They say identifying the victim could prove difficult since the man did not have a license or form of identification on him when he was killed.
“Somebody’s son, father, grandson got took this morning,” Helena said.
Anyone with further information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
