Jordan Siddiq, 35, was fatally shot at Shooters Waterfront in Fort Lauderdale on March 15, 2022. He had just arrived for his shift as a server when a former employee, Angel Candelaria, who had been sitting at the outside bar, engaged Siddiq in conversation. Surveillance footage shows Candelaria suddenly drawing a handgun and shooting Siddiq, then walking away before returning to shoot him a second time. Siddiq was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Police apprehended Candelaria a few hours later while he was riding a bicycle; officers recovered a handgun on him and took him into custody. While in a patrol car he made phone calls on his Apple Watch and spoke about regret and incarceration. Friends suggested a possible connection to Candelaria’s ex-girlfriend, but the motive is not clear.

A memorial grew outside the restaurant and the community mourned as Shooters Waterfront closed for several days. Candelaria has been charged with first-degree murder and remains in custody without bond. If anyone knew Jordan or saw anything relevant that afternoon, please come forward with information.
