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.
