BSO spokesperson Miranda Grossman said that an investigation revealed that the shooter and a witness were in the building’s lobby when three armed and masked criminals attempted to rob them.
The robbery victim then pulled out a gun and shot at the robbers, hitting one of them, Grossman said. One of the gunshots also damaged a nearby salon.
That robber, a man, was taken to Broward Health North where he was pronounced dead Saturday. BSO is withholding his name under Marsy’s Law, state legislation intended to protect crime victims.
Grossman said the second and third suspects remained at large. The sheriff’s office did not provide descriptions of the suspects.
