BSO located surveillance video that showed the incident unfold. One man is on a bike as another man walks up to him and appears to argue with him. The man, who BSO says is Canela, 22, of Oakland Park, then comes back and pulls a machete out of his waistband. The two exchange words again.
Moments later Canela returns in a car, gets out, and points a gun at the victim. He walks towards the man on the bike and gets close enough to shoot him point blank in the face.
On Thursday, July 28, Canela was arrested in North Lauderdale. He faces one charge of attempted murder in the first degree, according to BSO.
The man who was shot survived his injuries, BSO reported.
