Fight over dog poop leads to fatal machete attack, shooting, neighbor says
From May to August, West Palm Beach Police responded to 36 shootings, involving dozens of victims, many who died.
Neighbors told WPBF 25 News a fight over dog poop led to the deadly night.
The sheriff said that one deputy retrieved a stun gun to subdue the man while the other deputy was checking on the man on the ground.
Bradshaw said the deputies went to check on Londono while they simultaneously ordered Lago to drop the machete. Investigators said the man raised the machete and charged a deputy.
Neighbors say the shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. and that they heard six to seven gunshots.
Deputies found Mauro Londono with extensive stab wounds on the front lawn, a woman with numerous lacerations, and a second man, identified as Amado Lago, holding a long machete.
The deputy opened fire on Lago, killing him.
The man on the ground was also pronounced dead.
As for their father, they say he was a good, kind man who didn’t deserve such a brutal end.
As of late Wednesday, Bradshaw had not released the identities of anyone involved in the shooting.
The sheriff said the attacker lived across the street from the victims.
