Cops need help identifying gunman who shot a man from a jet ski in Dania Beach (Video)
On August 7, the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) in South Florida issued a plea to the community to help detectives identity a man on a jet ski who shot a man on land.
Around 3:22 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, the sheriff’s office received a report of a shooting in the area of 1401 Old Griffin Road in Dania Beach. BSO deputies responded and located a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue also responded; however, the male victim refused treatment.
A crime scene was established at the location. BSO Marine and Aviation units responded to canvas the area for the suspect, who was last seen in the canal on a jet ski.
Detectives with BSO’s Violent Crimes Unit responded and located a surveillance video of the suspect, who is described as a 25-30 years of age Hispanic male with short black hair, operating a blue jet ski.
The suspect had a verbal argument with the victim and subsequently shot the victim with a firearm, grazing the victim’s left upper thigh, causing a small laceration.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact BSO Violent Crimes Detective Tamara Encina at 954-476-4730. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
Police released a video of their shooting suspect, available below.
