Leonard Hankins, 24, was shot and killed in the early hours of June 22, 2016, after leaving a bar called Cheers in Oakland Park, near West Cypress Creek Road and Interstate 95. Hankins and three other men were in a vehicle that was fired upon around 4 a.m.; the vehicle then left the road and struck a fence and a tree. Hankins was taken to Broward Health North and pronounced dead at 5:03 a.m. The three others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation. Witnesses reported hearing loud noises and seeing people fleeing; investigators searched for nearby surveillance footage and asked the public for tips. No arrests had been made and the suspects were reported to have escaped. The motive was unclear, though reports speculated an altercation at the bar might have preceded the shooting.

Anyone who remembers that night or has information about the vehicle, the shooters, or nearby surveillance is asked to contact Broward County Crime Stoppers.
