A woman was killed and a man was critically injured in a shooting at a luxury resort in Hallandale Beach early Monday, authorities said.

Hallandale Beach Police officials said officers responded to a shooting just after 12:15 a.m. at the Beachwalk Resort located at 2602 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard.

The initial investigation revealed that a man and a woman were in the valet area of the resort when an unknown suspect began shooting at them, police said.

Both victims were transported to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital where the woman was pronounced dead and the man remained in critical condition. Their identtities weren't released.

Sid Gault and Brittany Mariche are visiting from Atlanta and had arrived at the resort just in time to see police swarming the area.

“I thought it was crazy, we just got here last night so that’s not what we’d expect. We’ll be here for a week but it’s crazy," Gault said.

"To think that somebody just came up and targeted them for no reason if that was the case, that’s scary too. We’re out here and to think someone could come up to us and shoot us for no reason is scary," Mariche said. "Definitely going to be watching our surroundings a lot more."

Detectives were processing the scene and talking to witnesses, but authorities said the incident appears to be domestic-related.

Police have not released any additional information on the victims or a description of the suspect who remains at large.
