Man on motorcycle riding with others in Fort Lauderdale when he was shot and killed

It was late afternoon when people began calling 911 with the same message: A man on a motorcycle was shot and killed in Fort Lauderdale.

“He’s dead, he’s dead,” one woman told the 911 operator.

The man, later identified by police as 28-year-old Domonic Fleming of Sunrise, was killed in the 1200 block of Northwest 23rd Avenue around 5:43 p.m. Sunday.

He was riding with a large group of other motorcyclists and ATV riders when he was shot, Fort Lauderdale police said.

When police and paramedics arrived, they found Fleming dead. Police are not aware of anyone else injured in the shooting.

Several witnesses said they saw Fleming fall off his bike, shot dead, according to slightly more than 10 minutes of 911 calls released by Fort Lauderdale police on Tuesday. One woman said she initially thought he was hit by a firework.

Investigators are now trying to figure out who shot him.
