Did you record a deadly shooting in Cooper City? Broward cops are looking for videos
If you recorded a deadly shooting over the weekend involving ATV riders in Cooper City, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office wants you to come forward with the video.
Around 4:40 p.m. Sunday, authorities got a call of a shooting at 5600 South Flamingo Rd., the sheriff’s office said Tuesday in an email.
The BSO email said that deputies found two men with gunshot wounds and that one was pronounced dead at the scene. The second man was transported to a nearby hospital in an unknown condition.
The man who died was identified as Marterius Zackery, 26. The injured man is Steven Schedtini, 23, the sheriff’s office said. Both men were ATV riders visiting from Conyers, Georgia, a town near Atlanta.
According to investigators, numerous ATVs and dirt bikes were riding northbound on Flamingo Road from Stirling Road when the men were shot from a Cadillac Escalade driving in the same direction.
The ATV riders “took to the streets endangering the public,” the sheriff’s office said Monday in an email.
“The shooting in Cooper City is indicative of the unfortunate and deadly implications that this illegal activity can cause,” Sheriff Gregory Tony said in a statement.
Detectives believe several people may have recorded the shooting, and they are asking them to come forward with the videos. Any information that leads to an arrest in this case is eligible for a reward of up to $5,000, and tipsters can remain anonymous, the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office is encouraging anyone with a video of the shooting to upload it on www.browardcrimestoppers.org.
