Man Found Shot to Death in Tamarac Home: BSO

Authorities are investigating the shooting death of a man in Tamarac.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a home in the 7900 block of Northwest 85th Avenue Thursday afternoon after receiving a 911 call reporting gunshots.

BSO's SWAT team responded to the scene and when they entered the home, found the body of 51-year-old Ivan Brandt, officials said.

Neighbor Barbara Gross watched the drama unfold in the quiet community.

"I had SWAT team in my backyard with rifles raised and a German shepherd. I had the regular BSO back there with guns drawn," she said.

Gross said she knew Brandt from the neighborhood.

"He seemed like an aggressive person, and he was a little strange," she said. "He really wasn't friendly with everybody."

Homicide detectives are investigating Brandt's death. So far, no suspects have been named.

Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
