Man killed in shooting after dispute over jukebox song

September 23, 2024

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (WSVN) -- A man is dead after a dispute over a jukebox song turned violent at a Mexican restaurant in Fort Lauderdale early Monday, witnesses said.

The argument reportedly began around 1:30 a.m. when one man insulted another over his song choice on the music machine, according to Mauro Bonilla, who spoke with a witness.

โ€œI heard that there was two guys [and] they got into an argument because one of them played a song on the [jukebox] and the other guy kind of was pissed off,โ€ said Bonilla. โ€œ[He] pulled his weapon and started shooting.โ€

The altercation escalated quickly. The man who insulted the song allegedly drew his weapon first, but the other man near the jukebox fired back, Bonilla added.

โ€œThe other guy was chasing him, shot after shot,โ€ Bonilla added.

The man who initiated the argument was killed, while the shooter fled.

Authorities are still investigating the shooting and are working to identify the gunman.
