Man dead, woman critically injured after "domestic-related" shooting in Hallandale Beach, police say
A man is dead and a woman was hospitalized with critical injuries after what police believe to be a "domestic-related" shooting in Hallandale Beach on Sunday.
Hallandale Beach Police said officers responded to reports of a shooting near 200 SW 10th Ave, and upon arrival, they found a woman suffering from "multiple gunshot wounds" and a dead man on the scene. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
Simon Mendez said he didn't know that a shooting had happened just down the street from his house until CBS News Miami told him.
"I feel so bad about that, but I know I can't do too much," Mendez said.
According to the preliminary investigation, the shooting appears to be an isolated incident and "domestic-related," Hallandale Beach Police said.
Neighbors told CBS News Miami the road was filled with flashing sirens overnight.
"Yeah, I feel nervous, but what can I do about it?" Mendez said.
Hallandale Beach Police detectives are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and trying to determine a possible motive.
"People do a lot of things here, but I'm disappointed," Mendez said. "People have no respect for nobody right now.".
