Kendrick Watson, 28, was found with an apparent gunshot wound on the sidewalk near 801 NW 27th Ave in Fort Lauderdale on January 18, 2017. He was alive when discovered around 2:45 a.m., taken to Broward Health Medical Center, and died of his injuries. Police responded to reports of shots fired at the scene.

Investigators identified 63-year-old Michael Byrd, known locally as Jib, as the primary suspect. Byrd was reportedly involved in an ongoing dispute over a missing cellphone and had shown violent behavior that night, including pointing a handgun at and firing at a woman who narrowly escaped being hit, threatening to decapitate another woman, and being captured on nearby gas station surveillance shortly after the shooting. Byrd was arrested and charged with premeditated murder and attempted murder; eyewitness testimony and surveillance footage were cited as significant evidence.
