Zion Lamar was 20 when he was shot and killed at a Solo Gas Station at 560 W. Sample Road in Pompano Beach, Florida, on the night of July 15, 2020. The shooting happened about 11:52 p.m. during an altercation among several people at the station; Lamar was not part of that fight but was struck by a bullet. Deputies found him outside the business; he was taken to Broward Health North by Pompano Beach Fire Rescue and later died of his injuries.

Investigators determined that 20-year-old Lonzo Miller Jr. of Deerfield Beach shot Lamar during the commotion. Miller was arrested on January 18, 2021, by the Broward Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit with the U.S. Marshals and charged with manslaughter. Separately, Lamar’s family secured a $1 million pre-suit settlement from the gas station operator after a civil claim alleging negligent security, citing a history of drug dealing and violence at the site, nonfunctioning surveillance cameras, and a clerk who failed to respond to the disturbance.
