HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man, who they identified as rapper Brandon Wamley, in Hallandale Beach on Thursday night.
Officers with the Hallandale Beach Police Department said they responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the 500 block of Northwest Sixth Avenue.
Authorities said Wamley was transported to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds and later succumbed to his injuries.
They said preliminary findings suggest the incident was isolated and that the victim and suspected gunman were acquainted.
Hallandale Beach police continue to search for the shooter, going door to door and looking for clues.
A man who lives nearby told Local 10’s Rosh Lowe in Spanish that he took off and hid in his bathroom after hearing multiple gunshots.
Witnesses confirmed Wamley was a rapper known as Wham SpinThaBin.
Jail records obtained by Local 10 News Friday show he had a criminal history in Broward County, including charges of cannabis possession, stalking, and writing a threat to kill.
“It is scary because you see police in the middle of the night. You’re wondering what’s going on,” another neighbor said.
