Michael Leslie, a 29-year-old father of two from Fort Lauderdale, was killed on February 1, 2021, during an armed robbery near his home. Surveillance footage shows two armed men ambush Leslie in the early hours as he returned to his residential community; officers say the suspects waited in a blue compact car near the entrance, followed him inside, then pistol-whipped and shot him as he tried to escape. He was found about 100 yards from his front door and later died at Broward Health Medical Center.

Investigators report the robbers stole a gold chain and an expensive watch. Lauderhill police released surveillance images and video and offered a $12,000 reward for information. Leslie’s mother, Sabrina Leslie, described him as a loving, generous father whose death has devastated the family and community. The suspects remain at large; anyone with information is asked to contact the Lauderhill Police Department.
