The Broward Sheriff's Office said 20-year-old Dijon Brown of Hollywood was shot multiple times and died at the scene. Authorities said Brown and another man at the party may have had an ongoing dispute.

Neighbors told NBC Miami a crowd converged on the corner of Phippen Rd and SW 7th Street between midnight and 1:00 a.m.‬
