SUNRISE, Fla. — One person was shot during a man’s birthday party early Sunday morning in Broward County.

The shooting was at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday outside the Five Stars Banquet Hall in Sunrise. A suspect was arrested, according to the Sunrise Police Department.

Witnesses said about 150 guests were celebrating inside the banquet hall at 6072 West Oakland Park Boulevard when a person who was using a wheelchair was shot outside.

Eril Jerome, who was celebrating his father-in-law’s birthday with family at the banquet hall, said they heard about four shots fired.

For a while, Jerome and other party guests couldn’t leave because their cars were parked within the crime scene. The shopping plaza reopened.

This is a developing story.
