According to Fort Lauderdale police, three officers discharged their department-issued firearms during the February incident and the suspect was struck multiple times. Police identified the suspect as Luis Felipe Londono Ospina, 43, who was pronounced dead at Broward Health Medical Center. FLPD said officers gave clear verbal commands to drop the gun, but the suspect did not comply and continued firing before lowering the weapon toward officers.
