Gerald Gibson, a 46-year-old African American man from Fort Lauderdale, was fatally shot during an altercation at a Shell gas station at 880 West Sunrise Boulevard on February 10, 2018, around 2:00 p.m. Surveillance footage (not released publicly) reportedly showed three men surrounding Gibson and striking him with a gun; the attack resulted in his death. A second man was wounded, taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation led to the arrest of 40-year-old Doyan Earl Vassell of Lauderdale Lakes. Vassell was apprehended by a fugitive task force at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and charged with conspiracy to commit murder; he was held without bond after a court appearance. Authorities have offered a reward and asked the public for information that could produce additional arrests. Gibson’s family, including his cousin April Bell, described him as a good person who was loved by his children and grandchildren.

Does anyone have information about that afternoon at the Shell station or recognize the description of the incident?
