Fifth suspect surrenders in North Lauderdale double shooting case
Matthew Holloway turned himself in to deputies in Monticello, closing the search for the fifth suspect in a North Lauderdale murder case that began with a May 8 double shooting.
Matthew Holloway surrendered to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Monticello on Aug. 2, and Broward Sheriff’s Office officials confirmed the move on Aug. 5, ending the search for the fifth suspect tied to a North Lauderdale double shooting that killed a 19-year-old.
The case began on May 8, when a shooting in North Lauderdale left one person dead and another injured. Investigators said surveillance video captured the deadly encounter, giving detectives a key piece of evidence as they pieced together what happened in the Broward County neighborhood.
By May 12, Broward deputies had arrested four people, including two teenagers, in connection with the shooting. Those suspects faced premeditated murder and attempted murder charges as the investigation widened from the original scene to a broader look at who helped carry out the attack and who may have known about it.
Holloway was still being publicly sought on July 29, when BSO homicide detectives asked for tips and, in at least one account, offered a reward for information leading to his arrest. His surrender in Jefferson County showed the case had moved beyond Broward County and into coordination with another sheriff’s office in North Florida before he turned himself in.
North Lauderdale, a densely populated Broward community, has watched the case move from a midnight shooting to a five-suspect homicide investigation over three months. The death of a 19-year-old, the injury of another person and the use of surveillance footage have kept attention on how quickly gun violence can fracture a neighborhood and how much weight falls on detectives, prosecutors and witnesses once the initial scene is cleared.
With Holloway now in custody, the case is no longer defined by a manhunt. It is now centered on the charges already filed, the evidence recovered and the next steps in a homicide prosecution that began with a fatal burst of violence in North Lauderdale and has continued through arrests across county lines.
