Authorities are investigating after a man's body was found outside of a home in North Lauderdale following reports of a shooting early Wednesday.

Broward Sheriff's Office officials said deputies responded to a call of shots fired in the 8200 block of Southwest 4th Court just after 12:30 a.m.

When they arrived, the deputies found a man lying outside a home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officials have not identified the victim or said how he died.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene to canvass the area and speak with witnesses, officials said.

The house was the scene of a shooting a little over a month ago. Bullet holes were still in the front door from the Nov. 28 shooting.

"Here we go again, it's always this property and that house," said one neighbor who didn't want her name used.

Residents believe the shootings could be related to drug activity. Kaylin Matthews said emergency workers have been to the house as often as twice a week over the past year.

"A lot of activity over there. If it’s the emergency people coming out for drug overdose or shootings," Matthews said. "It’s unsafe! I’m pretty sure people are trying to move. We are."
