PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — Authorities in Broward County are investigating a fatal shooting.

It happened shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday at the Orion gas station, located at 3990 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd. in Pembroke Park.

The intersection at Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Southwest 40th Avenue was blocked off for several hours as investigators processed the scene.

Detectives appeared to focus their investigation on a red Dodge Challenger, pulling out several pieces of apparent evidence over the course of the morning.

Dozens of evidence makers were also observed throughout the scene.

Units with Hallandale Beach police, Pembroke Park police and the Broward Sheriff’s Office were observed at the scene.

Authorities said BSO would be the lead on the investigation due to the homicide.

BSO spokeswoman Gerdy St. Louis later confirmed that the victim crashed his car after being shot.

“On scene, officers made contact with a witness who stated the victim, identified as Daniel Mathis, was involved in a verbal altercation with an unknown male at the Orion Gas Station located at 3990 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd,” St. Louis wrote in a news release. “At some point, the altercation escalated, and Mathis was shot.”
