Man shot by Broward sheriff's deputy in West Park
A man was shot by a Broward sheriff's deputy in West Park Sunday afternoon after punching a deputy in the face, according to the sheriff's office. The man, who was not identified, was taken to the hospital. An update on his condition was not immediately available. The incident began shortly before 12:30 p.m. when a 911 caller reported a 'suspicious incident involving a weapon,' on the 4000 block of S.W. 26 Street, said Carey Codd, spokesman for the sheriff's office. 'On scene an adult male subject punched a deputy in the face,' he said at a news conference, held in front of yellow crime-scene tape that blocked off the street of single-family houses between Pembroke Road and Hallandale Beach Boulevard. 'During the altercation, a deputy was forced to fire their weapon in response to the ongoing threat. The adult male subject was struck by the gunfire.' Deputies provided medical assistance at the scene, he said, and the man was taken to the hospital. The deputy who was punched was also taken to the hospital and appeared to be OK, Codd said. Codd said he didn't have information on whether the deputy who was punched was the same one who shot the man, how many shots were fired or whether any weapons were recovered in connection with the initial 911 call. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating, as is standard in police-involved shootings, and the sheriff's office is also investigating, Codd said. Any deputies who fired their weapon will be placed on administrative assignment pending the outcome of the investigation.

Search is for knife-wielding woman who threatened Pompano Beach restaurant worker
A knife-wielding woman was caught on camera threatening a Pompano Beach restaurant employee last week. It happened Wednesday, May 14, just before 10 p.m., at a Snappers restaurant on Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard. According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, witnesses said she was acting strangely. First, according to BSO, she told workers she was there to pick up an Uber order. However, there was no order for her. Then, after using the restroom, she went up to a table where people were eating and placed her hands on their food, according to the sheriff's office. Surveillance video shows the woman then going to the counter and wiping it down with a wet cloth. As employees called for help and locked the front door, the video shows the woman pulling a knife from inside her hoodie as she yells at the employees to open the door. When they refused, she went up to a worker, put the knife to his face and demanded that he open the door. He did and the woman left the restaurant. The sheriff's office has released the video in hopes that someone recognizes her. Anyone with information is urged to give them a call at (954) 321-4236 or contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477), online at or dial **TIPS (8477) from any cellphone.

The first theft occurred around 9:35 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25, at the Publix located at 8140 W. McNab Road. Surveillance video showed four women stealing roughly $970 worth of baby formula, with one of them pausing to snap a selfie before leaving, according to BSO. Investigators said the suspects placed items directly into their personal bags before walking out and getting into a dark-colored sedan. The woman seen taking the selfie wore all white and carried a brown paper bag. Her three accomplices were described as follows: one in a light-colored hoodie and gray pants, another in a black shirt with yellow pants carrying a purple handbag, and a fourth wearing all black with white designs, holding a baby and a two-tone handbag. Detectives believe these women may be linked to similar thefts across Florida. Hygiene products stolen in separate Publix theft In a separate case on Friday, April 11, at approximately 2:24 p.m., another suspect was caught on camera stealing hygiene products from the same store, according to BSO. Investigators said a woman in a yellow tank top and multicolored headwrap filled a shopping cart with various items, including Clorox products, bath tissue, wipes, and laundry detergent, and exited without paying. She also took a black trash can, which may have held additional stolen goods. Video footage showed another individual — dressed in a brown shirt and black pants — assisting by gathering empty grocery bags and handing them to the woman, who used them to carry stolen items. The suspect then loaded the full cart and exited the store, later fleeing in a gray Nissan Altima driven by another woman. Anyone with information about either incident is urged to contact BSO North Lauderdale Detective Sergio Espinoza at 954-722-5800 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477), online at or by dialing **TIPS from any cellphone.

Video captures disturbing road rage incident at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
A disturbing road rage incident, in which a man pointed a gun at a woman and her daughter as they were leaving Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, was caught on camera. Now the Broward Sheriff's Office has asked for the public's help in identifying the guy. It happened Tuesday, April 29, around 7 p.m. near the 300 block of Terminal Drive. The woman told sheriff's investigators she had picked up her daughter at the airport and was attempting to leave when the terrifying incident happened. She said when she turned on her turn signal in an attempt to change lanes, a man driving a black Dodge Durango sped up and refused to allow her to do so, according to the sheriff's office. Seeing the situation, the woman told investigators that she then slowed down, changed lanes and ended up directly behind the Durango. The woman said the driver then hit his brakes, forcing her to switch lanes once again, according to investigators. No longer behind the Durango, the woman said she sped up to pass it as her daughter recorded what happened next on her cellphone. The cellphone footage shows the driver of the Durango pointing a black handgun at the woman and her daughter. Immediately after seeing the cellphone, the sheriff's office said he concealed the weapon and drove off toward South Federal Highway. Sheriff's investigators are asking anyone with information on the driver's identity or whereabouts to contact them at (754) 333-0693 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App. Those who wish to remain anonymous are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS (8477), online at or dial **TIPS (8477) on their cellphone.
