Renel Sintira, 34, was killed in a shooting outside a Taco Bell in North Lauderdale on December 24, 2022, shortly before 11 p.m. Sintira was an uninvolved bystander who was struck in the hips during an exchange of gunfire that began after an argument between two other men. He was taken to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale and pronounced dead.

Martin produced a firearm and fired; Jean was shot multiple times in the leg and hid in the restaurant bathroom. Martin fled but was apprehended the next day and charged with first-degree murder in Sintira’s death and attempted second-degree murder for Jean’s injuries. Investigators say Martin admitted to the shootings.

Was anyone in the area that night aware of the argument or saw the sequence of events outside the restaurant?
