Arland Cata, 44, was fatally shot on September 10, 2023, at a licensed vacation rental at 501 NW 28th Ct in Wilton Manors, Florida. Police found Cata unresponsive at the scene; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds. The rental had been cited in July for multiple code violations, including the tenant running an illegal business, and the owner has been described as an absentee landlord who reportedly ignored earlier complaints until after the killing.

Investigators from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Wilton Manors Police Department, say no arrests have been made and no suspect description is available. BSO released video footage showing suspects running alongside the victim’s driveway as at least a dozen gunshots are fired; the shooters then fled in a white four-door sedan, with more shots fired from the vehicle. BSO and Broward Crime Stoppers are offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Increased patrols have been implemented in the neighborhood.

If anyone has information about what happened or recognizes the individuals or the vehicle in the video, please contact BSO Detective Steven Novak or Broward Crime Stoppers.
