A man was found shot to death outside Broward Speedway gas station, reports say
An armed carjacking followed by a road-rage incident led to a deadly shooting Monday, deputies said.
The shooting happened at about 12:45 p.m. Monday outside the Speedway gas station, 2401 West Commercial Blvd. in Tamarac, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators found that an hour before the shooting, Xavier Williams, 21, committed an armed carjacking in Greenacres, Palm Beach, authorities said. Afterward, he drove to Broward and at some point got into a road-rage incident with another driver. The road rage escalated into an argument at the Speedway.
Williams then threatened to rob the man’s car, which led to the two men shooting at each other, deputies said. The unidentified man was killed in the shooting.
News helicopters showed a yellow tarp over what appeared to be a body near a car.
“Whether there was a robbery, whether it was a road-rage incident, that’s still a part of what they’re looking into, and they’re not ruling anything out,” Miranda Grossman, a spokeswoman for BSO, told WSVN. “At this point, deputies are looking into all of the scenarios and circumstances surrounding this fatal shooting.”
