A fatal, Thursday night shooting in Pompano Beach is connected to a late night crash and shooting on I-95 outside Fort Lauderdale, according to officials with the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators say 46-year-old Trevor Mitchell, a military veteran and Pompano resident, was barbecuing for friends near North Dixie Highway and 15th Place around 7:30 p.m. when an argument began with 46-year-old Donel Bostick.
Bostick allegedly opened fire, killing Mitchell before fleeing the scene.
Soon after (around 8:15 p.m.), a Florida Highway Patrol officer reported a collision on the southbound ramp to Davie Blvd.
"While on scene, an individual (Bostick), armed with a gun, refused to come out of the vehicle. This individual did fire the weapon, and was detained without further incident," the FLPD said in a statement, adding that no injuries occurred.
BSO identified the person detained as Bostick, the suspect sought in the Pompano Beach shooting.
Detectives say the two men knew each other and graduated from Blanche Ely High School in 1990.
A motive for the shooting remains unknown as an investigation continues.
The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information about the incident to contact Homicide Detective Zack Scott at 954-321-4162. Tips can also be made anonymously to Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
