DANIA BEACH, Fla. – A Dania Beach man was shot and killed late Friday as he attended an impromptu memorial for a neighbor who had passed away a week earlier, authorities said.
Gina Carter, a spokeswoman for the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, said 41-year-old Freddie Calloway was attending the vigil around 10:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Phippen-Waiters Road when a gunman approached and fatally shot him. The gathering included about a dozen neighbors. The gunman initially fled on foot, but he may have later used a vehicle to escape, Carter said.
