Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested three men this week who are suspected of murdering an 18-year-old man last summer in Oakland Park.
Deputies found Ammon Watson, who lived in Oakland Park, fatally shot lying in a driveway around noon on Aug. 24, 2024, near the 2100 block of Northwest 28th Street.
The sheriff’s office said someone ran up to Watson while he was in the driveway of a family home and shot him. The gunman ran away after firing the shots, said BSO spokeswoman Miranda Grossman.
Detectives investigating the case identified three men — 18-year-old Ta’Narine Hamilton, 22-year-old Khalil Elie and 19-year-old Morris King, Jr. — as suspects in Watson’s death, Grossman said.
Watson was already in custody on an Oct. 22, 2024, armed robbery and aggravated battery arrest when he was charged. Detectives arrested Elie on Monday and King on Thursday.
All three, who live in Lauderhill, face a count of first-degree murder.
