Someone fired a gun outside Club BAM in Fort Lauderdale early Wednesday morning, scattering panicked club goers and leaving one man dead. According to Broward County Sheriff's Office, a deputy patrolling the area of Club BAM, located in the 2800 block of West Broward Boulevard, heard the shots fired at around 4:20 a.m.
When the officer arrived at the club, he saw patrons scattered outside and the body of a man laying in the parking lot. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue was called onto the scene, who pronounced the man dead on the scene, according to a BSO report.
BSO identified the dead man as Joshua Rogers, 27, of Pompano Beach.
Sheriff's Office spokesperson Keyla Concepcion says the deputy found Rogers had suffered a gunshot wound, and that the crowd was still dispersing and running out of the club when he arrived on the scene.
