LAUDERHILL, FL – A shooting incident at a Lauderhill apartment complex has left two men injured, one of them critically. The shooting occurred around 2 p.m. on Northwest 19th Street, just west of State Road 7, and has since turned the area into an active crime scene.
Lauderhill police quickly responded to the scene, where they discovered the two victims. One man, in critical condition, was initially taken to a nearby hospital before being airlifted to Broward Health Medical Center. The second victim was transported by Lauderhill Fire Rescue to the same medical facility, suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation remains active, with the complex’s parking lot cordoned off as police search for clues. Aerial footage captured shortly after the incident shows the heavy police presence and the area roped off with yellow tape, while officers on the ground continue to gather evidence.
Details about the victims, including their ages and identities, have not been released. The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation, and authorities have not yet identified any suspects.
