Detectives say they found a BMW that crashed into other cars on Southwest 41st street in Pembroke Park Saturday morning. The BMW was empty and someone shot it up. Police say they later learned someone dropped Gordon off at Memorial Pembroke 24/7 Care Center in Pembroke Pines because he was shot several times. Medics took him to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood where he died.
“He never hesitated to let us know how he felt about us so this is really hard because he was such a loving kid,” Gordon’s aunt said. “We are used to burying our elders, not our children, so we are very lost.”
Detectives say Gordon was shot in West Park. His aunt says they don't know what happened.
