Steven Monroe, a 49-year-old African American man, was found with a single gunshot wound to his back on May 6, 2017, at 2691 Northwest 15th Street near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Broward Sheriff’s Office responded and opened an investigation, but the case went cold as leads were exhausted and involved parties did not cooperate. Monroe lived for several years with complications from that injury and was admitted to the hospital in September 2021 with a life-threatening condition tied to the 2017 wound.

He died on October 20, 2021; the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide due to complications of the gunshot wound, and the case was reopened by BSO’s Cold Case Unit. Detectives later identified new evidence and witnesses and David Hargrove, 56, of Deerfield Beach, was indicted for first-degree murder and arrested in May 2022. The motive for the shooting remains unclear.

Does anyone have information about Monroe’s activities or associates in Fort Lauderdale around May 2017?
