SUNRISE, Fla. — One person was shot during a man’s birthday party early Sunday morning in Broward County.
The shooting was reported at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday outside the Five Stars Banquet Hall in Sunrise. A suspect, identified as Francisco Sanchez, was arrested, according to the Sunrise Police Department.
Witnesses said about 150 guests were celebrating inside the banquet hall at 6072 W. Oakland Park Blvd. 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 has since reopened.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released.
