FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) — Fort Lauderdale Police arrested 36-year-old Jorge Varona Suarez for the murder of 30-year-old Marcel Noel.

On Wednesday, January 31st, 2024, FLPD responded to a shooting incident in the 800 block of NE 62 St. Officers found two potential victims and notified Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue who took the victims to local hospitals.

Around 7;10am, FLPD received several calls reporting a shooting in the 800 block of NE 62 Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered two adult male victims who had sustained gunshot wounds.
