Trayvon Mitchell

Deadly force

A man flagged down a Lauderhill police officer to report he had been robbed of his backpack at gunpoint moments earlier. The officer learned the robber headed into Lauderhill. Lauderhill police set up a perimeter, and Plantation and Davie police officers joined the hunt. Police said the search came to an end about an hour later when a person resembling the description was spotted. More than one officer from Davie and Plantation opened fire, killing the man, police said.
