BSO arrests four in shooting that killed a teen in North Lauderdale
Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested two men and two teenage boys in connection to a shooting that left one man dead and another wounded in North Lauderdale early Friday morning.
O’Mari Doe, 19; Maurice Vorroto, 20; and two other people not named by investigators were sitting in a 2020 Ford Mustang on the 7900 block of Southwest Seventh Court around 1 a.m. when four males drove up in a black Honda Accord, got out of the car and opened fire with handguns, according to the sheriff’s office.
Doe was struck several times, and Vorroto once, Gerdy St. Louis, a BSO spokeswoman, said. The two others were not hit. The gunmen got back inside the Honda and drove off, St. Louis said.
When deputies arrived with North Lauderdale Fire Rescue paramedics, they found Doe inside the Mustang with multiple gunshot wounds, and Vorroto outside the car, shot once, St. Louis said. Both men were taken to Broward Health North, where Doe died, according to the sheriff’s office.
The BSO described Vorroto’s injuries as “not life-threatening.”
BSO deputies issued an alert for the Honda, which was spotted later that morning by a Fort Lauderdale Police officer, who pursued the car, according to the sheriff’s office. The four occupants bailed from the car and ran, but officers eventually caught them.
They arrested Aamir Adams, 18; Anthony Adams; two juveniles, ages 15 and 16, St. Louis said. It was not immediately clear if Aamir and Anthony Adams are related. The former lives in Pompano Beach and the latter in Fort Lauderdale, according to the BSO.
Both men and the teens face one count each of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder. The men are being held at BSO’s main jail in Fort Lauderdale. Information about their legal representation was not immediately available.
They were booked into jail Friday, but the sheriff’s office announced their arrests Tuesday.
Prosecutors have not decided whether to charge the teens as adults, a spokesperson for the Broward County State Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
