The 41-year old was shot Wednesday in what investigators are calling a domestic disturbance in the 2600 block of Northeast 49th Street in Lighthouse Point.

A nearby neighbor captured cellphone video showing Rodriguez on a stretcher before being transported to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Additional video showed a woman in handcuffs being escorted by a deputy to a patrol car. She was detained for questioning, but was later released.

Since then, there have been a number of tributes honoring the father of two posted to social media, remembering him as good friend, a young entrepreneur and a staple in the barber community.

No arrests have been made.

Investigators plan to turn the case over to the State Attorney’s Office for review.
