No injuries were reported from the shooting, and the victim was taken to a local hospital by his girlfriend.
Detectives said it's believed the stabbing was random, since the victim didn't know the person who stabbed him and had no interaction or altercation with the person before the stabbing.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the case.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call BSO at 954-321-4384.
