Arrest made in Christmas week shooting death near Hollywood’s Young Circle
A Hallandale Beach man who authorities wanted to see about a misdemeanor marijuana charge is in the Broward Main Jail on a manslaughter charge.
Hollywood police arrested Brandon Preston, 35, believing him to the gunman in a predawn Dec. 23 shooting that killed a man in the 1900 block of Hollywood Boulevard, a few hundred yards from Young Circle. Police had been semi-looking for Preston since March 4, when a warrant was issued after he didn’t show up for a court date on a marijuana possession case.
Hollywood police said in December that this shooting appeared to be “an isolated incident” between the shooter and victim.
