Deputies said upon arrival, emergency crews located William Swackard lying on the ground bleeding and unconscious.
BSO Public Information Officer Gerdy St. Louis said paramedics transported Swackard to Broward Health North, where he succumbed to his injuries several days later.
After further investigation, detectives said earlier this year, the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Swackard’s death a homicide.
St. Louis said a witness on scene told investigators that Swackard was physically assaulted by a man in his mid-30s wearing a white shirt and blue jean shorts.
Deputies said the suspect was last seen headed north on a light-colored bicycle.
Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity or whereabouts is urged to call Violent Crimes Unit Detective Jennifer Petrofsky at 954-321-4238 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
