FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – A judge has denied bond to a firefighter who allegedly shot a man during a block party in Cooper City on Super Bowl Sunday.
Margate-Coconut Creek Fire Rescue Lt. Lorne Brown, 39, appeared in a Broward County courtroom in Fort Lauderdale, Friday.
The shooting happened near Southwest 91st Terrace and 52nd Court at around 7 p.m. on Feb. 2.
According to Simeon Brown, the victim, he accidentally drove through a block party that was being thrown by residents. He said they set up cones and barricades, but the victim was there to take his girlfriend home, who lives a block over.
After the couple went through a barricade, a second car with Simeon’s brother and another woman drove through, and Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies said, someone kicked that car as they drove through.
