Police continued their search for a shooter after a 19-year-old was shot to death at a Coconut Creek apartment complex.

Bryce McFadden was shot and killed Tuesday around 6 p.m. in the Coco Parc condominium, police said. Residents had to shelter in place for hours while police searched for the shooter.

“He was that student that everyone rallied around,” said Delvin King, director of Youth Under Construction.

The principal and students say it was a dark day on campus following the murder of one of their graduates.

“It was very devastating, for someone who didn’t live long, to be arrested so early,” said student Christian Brooks.

King says a few months ago, another student at the school was also killed. He provided a photo of McFadden with the other student who lost his life to gun violence.

“We do a lot of work in the classroom, but now we’re trying to get out of the classroom to solve some of these community issues,” King said.

Detectives have not released additional information about the shooting but say it was not random.

“For the shooter or anyone else involved, we just want justice. And this shouldn’t have happened in the first place.” » said Brooks.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
