Two suspects have been clapped in cuffs in Sacramento County, California, in the shooting that left one man dead and another injured outside a Florida bar in early February, according to authorities.

The Lauderhill Police Department reported that 28-year-old Damar Troy Andrews and 20-year-old Jahiem Jonah Dixon were arrested in connection to the fatal incident that unfolded in a parking lot just outside The Spot Lounge Bar and Grill. The early morning violence on February 7 claimed the life of 34-year-old Christopher Matthew Fletcher, as detailed by WSVN.

Fletcher was found with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead after being rushed to Broward Health Medical Center. Another victim, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries, made it to Florida Medical Center on his own steam. The Lauderhill Police have yet to release the motive behind the shooting.

"Andrews and Dixon were apprehended in Sacramento County, California, with the assistance of the United States Marshals Service," confirmed the Lauderhill Police Department. Both are awaiting extradition to Broward County to face charges of Murder in the first degree and Attempted Murder in the first degree, NBC Miami reported. The investigation into the shooting continues, with law enforcement urging anyone with information to step forward.

Authorities encourage anyone with details to contact the Lauderhill Police Department at 954-497-4700 or anonymously tip off Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 (TIPS), hoping to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the fatal encounter. As the two men face their charges across the country, the community looks for answers in a case that has cut short the life of a local man and shattered an otherwise typical South Florida night.
