Mauro Lopez, 27, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder with a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm after the shooting death of Ryan Christopher McGowan, 25.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the 5100 block of East Lakes Drive at approximately 7:12 p.m. after receiving a call of a shooting.
Deputies found McGowan suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and immediately rendered aid. Paramedics transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
