Police haven't released the man's identity but friends identified him as 44-year-old Arland Cata. The friends said Cata, who went by AC, may have been shot in front of his teen daughter.
Video taken from outside the home showed multiple bullet holes in windows and walls at the home.

“I was kind of scared at first because I didn’t know what was going on," said Charles Fencher, who heard the gunshots. "That never happened around here and I’ve been here since ‘93. You hear gunshots on my street, it kind of shocked me a little bit.”
Multiple neighbors also told NBC6 there was a lot of activity going on at the home with people coming and going and buying and selling merchandise.
Investigators have not commented about the activity surrounding the home, and have not released any additional information on the victim.
At this time, no arrests have been made, but anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
