Derrick Givings, 42, Passed Away

POMPANO BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) —  A 39 year old woman was arrested for first degree murder after fatally shooting her neighbor in Pompano Beach.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office Homicide unit is currently looking into the details of the tragic incident.

On Tuesday, February 13th, at around 12;48 p.m., BSO deputies responded to a ShotSpotter alert near Northwest 27th Avenue and Northwest Seventh Street. Upon arrival, they discovered Derrick Givings, the victim of the shooting, outside a residence at 2695 N.W. Seventh St. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue rushed Givings to Broward Health North.
