Police: Sunrise fatal shooting was between family members, suspect remains armed and dangerous

SUNRISE, Fla. – The search is intensifying for an accused killer, with authorities hoping new clues will help catch the culprit.

Home surveillance video captured the moments the driver of a red car reversed back to the front of a Sunrise home last Thursday, got out and ran inside. That’s when police said he shot a relative and then drove away.

The home is located near Northwest 20th Court and 70th Avenue.

Sunrise police officers responded to reports of shots fired and upon arrival, they found one man had been shot and killed following a fight.

Authorities said the fight broke out between two relatives.

“Two family members got into an altercation one was shot,” said Otishia Browning Smith with the Sunrise Police Department.

The shooter drove off before police arrived, and while investigators said they have recovered the gunman’s vehicle, the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Jeavoy Jones, remains on the run.

“He is at large, on foot, believed to be here in he city of Sunrise,” said Browning Smith.

It’s been five days since the fatal shooting and police have yet to find the killer.

Their most recent clue came from a Value Pawn near 441 and Oakland Park Boulevard.

It is there Jones was seen walking in with khaki shorts, a gray hoodie and a mask covering his face, just 15 minutes after detectives said he shot and killed a family member.

“We believe he is armed and dangerous, so if you do see him please do not approach him,” said Browning Smith.

Anyone with information on Jones’ whereabouts is urged to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
