Lance Gillings, a 30-year-old man from Fort Lauderdale, was fatally shot on April 5, 2017. He was found mortally wounded after being shot near a convenience store in Lauderdale Lakes and managed to stumble into a Kwik Stop convenience store seeking help, but succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation. Detectives collected evidence and pursued leads, but the case has been hampered by a lack of eyewitnesses and concrete information. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Family and friends remembered Lance as a kind and caring individual, and the case prompted community concern about gun violence in the area. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please contact the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
