"I heard this morning one shot only," Rodriguez said. "It was one shot and he killed the person."

Michael Scholler is Rodriguez's roommate. He says he got a call from another neighbor saying someone was in his parking space.

"He said there’s somebody in your parking spot that is laying there," Scholler said. "I come down and he was not moving."

Officers found the 18-year-old male suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot, police said. NBC6 was there when the victim was brought in.

He was transported to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Scholler who’s owned his condo for more than 10 years says he doesn’t feel safe.

"The last couple years, it’s gotten terrible," Scholler said.

At this time, the teen has not been identified. Information on a suspect or motive was unknown.
