A teenager surrendered himself to deputies in South Florida to face charges connected to the murder of his girlfriend’s father.
According to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, 18-year-old Lawan Jones Jr. faces a first-degree murder charge for the shooting death of 44-year-old Keith Bryan Poole in Pompano Beach, Florida.
In a release, deputies stated they responded to a shooting call near the 1500 block of Northeast 28th Street on Monday, Aug. 19.
First responders arrived to find Poole suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he died.
According to family members and friends, Jones moved in with Poole after his parents died. Witnesses reported that right before the shooting, they heard an argument between the two.
The altercation started after Poole reportedly learned about some social media posts he deemed inappropriate that Jones made. According to DailyMail.com, the arrest affidavit states that Poole saw Jones holding a firearm in one photo he posted online and told Jones he couldn’t do that in his house and “would have to leave.”
