Man on date shot in home-invasion robbery in Florida

MIRAMAR, Fla. _ When a Miramar man invited a woman he met on a dating app back to his place, two men followed her inside to rob the man, who was shot when he fought back, police said.

After beating up a second man who was inside the home, they ransacked the apartment, took some valuables and then sped away in a car with the woman, according to police.

It happened about 3:20 a.m. Wednesday in the Montclaire gated community.

Detectives are reviewing security camera video and other evidence but they say this was not a random robbery. The victim was set up.

He was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening. The other man in the apartment was treated by paramedics at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing and detectives are asking anyone who has information about the crime to contact Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at (954) 493-8477 or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
