The city was shaken when a violent crime left one dead and the killer on the loose. Arland Cata was shot and killed at 501 NW 28th Ct. on Sept. 10. The Broward Sheriff’s Office was called to the vacation rental and found Cata. He died from his wounds at the hospital.

BSO is conducting the investigation along with WMPD. Chief Gary Blocker said that the property owner is an “absentee landlord” and ignored reports of problems at his property until after the killing. At the time, one person close to the investigation exclusively told OutSFL that this appeared to be an isolated incident and not a part of a violent crime spree.
