Three years after a fatal shooting rocked a Fort Lauderdale community, two arrests have been made in the case of Steven Black's death. The 2022 incident, where Black was fatally shot at a market, was caught on surveillance footage, contributing to the apprehension of the suspects. NBC Miami reported last Tuesday, July 8, the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Warren Pollock, 24, in Augusta, Georgia, after a grand jury indicted him on one count of first-degree murder. His sister, Wanisha Pollock, 29, was arrested two days later on a charge of accessory after the fact.
The investigation was a collaborative effort among multiple agencies, including the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, which managed to quickly identify the suspects with the help of the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN). This recent breakthrough has provided some closure to a case that seemed to languish in uncertainty. Confirming the arrests, WSVN noted that local and federal partners were integral to slowly piece together the events leading to Black's death at Tony's Market on March 13, 2022.
The case unfolded when Steven Black was shot and killed while shopping at Tony's Market. A surveillance video showed a man in a black hooded sweatshirt walking into the store, drawing a gun, and then firing at Black near the entrance before fleeing the scene. This chilling footage became a key piece of evidence in the years-long investigation to track down those responsible for the crime.
Details on a motive behind the murder have yet to be disclosed, with authorities maintaining discretion over the ongoing case. Miami Beach and Miami Gardens police departments also played roles in ensuring the suspects were apprehended.
