Lauderdale Lakes man killed over loud music dispute on Thanksgiving

FORT LAUDERDALE — A man is dead and another is detained after his wife said he was shot and killed over a loud music dispute in Lauderdale Lakes on Thanksgiving.
Just after 3:30 p.m., the Broward County Sheriff’s Office was called out to reports of a shooting near 2800 Somerset Drive, prompting deputies and BSO Fire Rescue to respond.
Upon arrival, deputies found a man suffering from a gunshot wound and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. BSO told CBS News Miami that one person has been detained in connection to the shooting.
The Thanksgiving tragedy left Rose McLean in agony Her 72-year-old husband Hurelyon McLean was gunned down just outside their apartment.  She told CBS News Miami it happened after a minor dispute with a neighbor.
“He was playing his music today and the guy said he was playing it too loud my husband went down there to him,” she said.
Rose said moments later, she heard the fatal shot. 
“I was inside changing my clothes and I heard a gunshot ‘Boom!'” she said. “So I ran outside because I knew my husband was outside. That’s when I went outside and saw them on the floor.”
She said the man with the gun threatened her too. 
“He was being very violent because I was saying, ‘Why did you shoot my husband?’ He said to me shut your mouth he’ll shoot me too,” Rose told CBS News Miami.
At an evening prayer vigil, the family’s pastor tried to comfort them — a difficult task on the day we give thanks and celebrate family. 
“Today is extraordinarily crazy,” said Pastor Tracy McCloud. “It’s crazy how mankind is gotten to the place where you don’t want her life like we should honor.”
BSO’s Homicide and Crime Scene Units are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
