Officer-Involved Shooting Reported at Sunrise Lakes Apartment Complex

Emergency responders converged on an officer-involved shooting incident Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at approximately 10:12 PM, at 2750 Sunrise Lakes Dr E Apt 206, Sunrise, FL 33322.

According to emergency dispatch, three units—R39, E59, and EMS39—were dispatched to the scene. The deployment of a rescue unit alongside fire-rescue apparatus typically indicates a potentially severe incident with potential injuries requiring medical attention.

The address is located within a residential apartment complex in the Sunrise Lakes area of Sunrise, near NW 104th Avenue and NW 10th Avenue, according to reports from WSVN. Authorities reported a fatality as a result of the incident.

According to WSVN, Sunrise Police officers responded to a call from a woman who reported her ex-husband was threatening suicide and violence against anyone who approached the apartment. Investigators stated that an officer discharged their weapon after the man reportedly pointed a rifle at police. The subject was pronounced dead at the scene, and multiple firearms were discovered inside the apartment. The officer who fired their weapon has been placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

For residents in the vicinity, authorities typically advise avoiding the immediate area of an ongoing police investigation to ensure the safety of both the public and responding personnel. Road closures may also be in effect during such incidents.

Following an officer-involved shooting, a comprehensive investigation by an independent agency, such as the FDLE, is standard procedure. This investigation aims to determine the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident. Official updates are usually released as the investigation progresses. The public can anticipate further information once the FDLE concludes its initial findings and provides a statement.
