A shooting in a South Florida apartment parking lot killed a 20-year-old, police say

When police officers answered the numerous 911 calls from the Serramar Apartments about a shooting Wednesday, they say they found Ethan Delicat receiving CPR from someone who might’ve been a stranger.

That person kept Delicat alive long enough for Lauderhill Fire Rescue to hustle him to Broward Health Medical Center. That’s where the 20-year-old died Wednesday night.

Witnesses told police they saw a man with a gun running from the lot. A perimeter and a search with dogs didn’t find the gunman.

Police said the 911 calls came from the area around 6845 Landings Dr. at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. They learned Delicat had been at the complex visiting friends. After a ruckus, people heard shots and saw Delicat lying on the street.

Anyone who knows anything can contact the Lauderhill Police Department at 954-497-4700, on Facebook; or Twitter; or contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 (TIPS).
