Miramar Police are investigating after the husband of an Opa-locka police officer and father of three was gunned down in his Miramar driveway early Thursday.
Police say 28-year-old Darcy Jenkins Jr. was exiting his car at his home in the 7600 block of Indigo Street, near Miramar Parkway and Island Drive, around 2:30 a.m. That is when a gunman ambushed Jenkins, fatally shooting him. Witnesses say Jenkins' body was left in the driveway.
Jenkins' wife, Nikeya Jenkins, is an Opa-locka police officer. She says her husband was a hard-working family man who worked at his father's South Florida restaurant.
"Very family oriented, we just had a baby recently," Nikeya Jenkins said through tears. "Quiet, keeps to himself. He goes to work, he comes home, he be with his family."
Jenkins told NBC 6 she believes someone may have followed her husband home from work when he was killed.
