Cerrone Alonso, 41, of Fort Lauderdale was killed on May 16, 2019, after a road rage confrontation at the intersection of Cypress Creek and Powerline roads. Alonso, a motorcyclist and president of the Fort Lauderdale chapter of the Top Gunz motorcycle club, was riding when driver Harrison Braga DaCosta, 29, reportedly used his car to pin Alonso’s motorcycle against the curb, exited the vehicle and shot Alonso multiple times. Alonso was taken to Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach and died of his injuries.

DaCosta said he acted in self-defense, alleging Alonso had cut him off and attacked him with a brick. Witnesses contradicted that account, saying DaCosta initiated the confrontation by pinning the motorcycle and then shooting. Police did not find any brick or rocks at the scene. DaCosta was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; prosecutors told a bond hearing about witnesses describing DaCosta’s aggressive actions and the judge ordered him held without bond.

Alonso was remembered as a husband and father of four and as an active member of the local motorcycle community. Does anyone have information about the events at Cypress Creek and Powerline on May 16, 2019?
