Authorities are investigating a suspected murder-suicide shooting in Pompano Beach that left a man and a woman dead Thursday afternoon.
Officials with the Broward Sheriff's Office said they received reports of a shooting in the area of Pier Street and Seabreeze Way, not far from the Pompano Beach Pier, around 12:20 p.m.
When first responders arrived, they found the man and woman with gunshot wounds.
The woman's death was confirmed at the scene of the accident, the man was taken to a local hospital for further treatment. He was also later confirmed dead.
BSO officials later stated that the shooting appeared to be a murder-suicide.
Pictures from the crime scene showed the woman's body lying on the street, covered with a yellow tarp and surrounded by a pool of blood.
Employees at a nearby BurgerFi said the couple were eating on the patio and there were no signs of an argument or trouble.
“Not at all. If there had been any, I probably would have done something. But I didn't notice anything,” said a man who works at the restaurant. “Everything goes through your head: what is their story, how do people get to this point? And you only think about your own family.”
Other witnesses also said the shooting came out of nowhere.
“I look outside and it's quiet. Suddenly I hear a bang, bang, bang three times. And I heard that and I know the difference between a gunshot and anything else,” said Eddy Coussa.
Officials have not yet released the identities of the man and woman, but said the incident remains under investigation.
