A man died after being shot by Davie Police during a medical call at a home just after midnight Friday, according to a news release. Three officers are now on administrative leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigates.
About 12:30 a.m., Davie Police officers responded to a medical call about a resident at a home in the 14500 block of Southwest 24th Street, the release said.
When they arrived, they were “confronted” by the unidentified man, “at which time shots were fired and the subject was struck,” the release said. It did not specify if the man was the resident referenced in the medical call.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, the release said.
Davie Police did not say how many times the man was shot or how many officers fired at him, and referred questions to FDLE.
Three Davie Police officers were involved and have been placed on administrative leave, according to the release.
Davie Police Criminal Investigations and Internal Affairs detectives responded to investigate, along with FDLE, the lead agency investigating the shooting.
