On Thanksgiving Day, a neighbor shot and murdered a Florida grandpa during a fight over loud music.
On Thursday, Hureleyon McLean, 72, passed away. According to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, authorities are still keeping the gunman’s identity a secret while they look into the incident.
It was at 3:30 p.m. when the incident occurred. Shots were reported to Broward County Regional Communications near Lauderdale Lakes, approximately 32 miles north of Miami, in the 2800 block of Somerset Drive.
According to The South Florida Sun Sentinel, which cited first responder radio communications, the gunman shot McLean in the head and stayed outside a room with a gun still in his hand. Deputies arrived to discover McLean wounded by a gunshot. At the spot, he was pronounced dead.
The gunman, who cooperated with police and claimed self-defense, was taken into custody by deputies, according to authorities.
The Broward County State Attorney’s Office will hear the investigators’ case before deciding whether to seek criminal charges, according to the sheriff’s office.
Hureleyon’s wife Rose McLean described what transpired during a Thanksgiving Day celebration in interviews with different media sites.
“He was playing his music, and the guy said he was playing it too loud,” she told to a news outlet. “So my husband, he went down to him.”
She then claimed to have heard a gunshot.
