FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WFLA) — A South Florida man was shot and killed just after the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.

“I grabbed the back of his head, and he grabbed the back of my head, and forcefully had the most beautiful kiss. It was so beautiful, backed off, I said ‘I love you,’ he said ‘I love you,’ and then he fell,” Nunez’s boyfriend, Chris Dillon, told NBC affiliate WTVJ .
Dillon said he tried to get Nunez to stand up, but he was unresponsive, so he called 911. He then discovered a wound on his boyfriend’s stomach.
“I lifted up his T-shirt and about the size, not even an inch, was a slit,” Dillon told WTVJ.
Just hours later, Nunez was dead.
“I cried, I started sobbing on the floor,” Dillon told WTVJ.
Fort Lauderdale police said they are investigating whether he was struck by a stray bullet.
