A stretch of Northwest 10th Terrace that has seen more than its share of sirens was back under the spotlight Wednesday, when a man was shot and rushed to Broward Health Medical Center with life-threatening injuries in Fort Lauderdale. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found the victim in the 800 block of NW 10th Terrace, and police said the incident appeared to involve two people, with no arrests reported that night.
According to NBC 6 South Florida, officers treated the wounded man at the scene before he was transported to Broward Health as a trauma alert. The outlet reports that detectives have opened an active investigation into the shooting.
NW 10th Terrace Has Seen Repeated Violence
The corridor around NW 10th Terrace has been the backdrop for multiple high-stress police responses in recent years, from a June barricade and SWAT standoff to other shootings that sent people to the hospital. Hoodline previously covered an hourslong SWAT scare on the same block, and the Miami Herald has reported similar incidents along NW 10th Terrace in recent years. That history has left neighbors and nearby businesses on edge, according to past coverage.
Police did not immediately release additional details about a possible suspect or motive as detectives worked the scene, and authorities had made no arrests at the time of the report, per NBC 6 South Florida. This story will be updated if officials release more information.
