A preliminary investigation showed the victim and adult male suspect, who knew each other, were in a fight before the shooting.
There was no threat to the community, police officials said. Investigators are reviewing video related to the incident and following strong leads in this case.
This remains an active investigation. Any updates would be provided when they were available, TPD said.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
