Sketch shows what killer looked like

Detectives are one composite sketch closer to catching the killer who shot a mother and son in North Lauderdale nearly three years ago.

Candice McKinney, 35, died inside an apartment on the 1100 block of Cove Lake

Road and her wounded son

Kareem Barnett, then-18, was flown by helicopter to Broward Health North medical center. McKinney’s toddler son, Logan, was also in the apartment but was unharmed, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. on March 28, 2016. At the time, distraught relatives and neighboring residents were kept away from the building for about seven hours while investigators in protective hazardous material suits collected evidence from the second-floor apartment.

No motive was mentioned, but detectives now suspect the shooter was not alone.

The killer is described as being 30 to 40-years-old, about 6 feet tall and roughly 215 pounds. He had a dark complexion, a scruffy black beard and short haircut, according to investigators.

The Sheriff ’s Office asks anyone who may recognize the man in the sketch or who has any other information about the crime to call Homicide Sgt. Kevin Forsberg at 954-321-4279. Broward Crime Stoppers will accept anonymous tips at 954-493-8477 or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
