- — Emily Miller

A 23-year-old Lauderdale Lakes man was arrested Monday night, accused of gunning down a man at a Lauderhill apartment complex back in March.

Jean Edwin Altenor is being held without bond on one count of premeditat­ed murder, records show.

He appeared briefly in court Tuesday afternoon, where he declined a public defender and told the judge his family would be hiring a private attorney.

Broward judge John “Jay” Hurley reschedule­d Altenor’s bond hearing for Wednesday afternoon.

On March 30, officers responding to an 11:25 p.m. call of gunfire found Jevon Douglas’ body in the stairwell of the Inverrary Club Apartments, said Lt. Gregory Solowsky, Lauderhill Police Department spokesman.

The 24-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene in the 2700 block of Northwest 56th Avenue.

According to a warrant for his arrest, Altenor shot Douglas three times: once in the torso, once in the lower left leg and once in the upper right thigh.

Altenor has three previous arrests in Florida on charges of burglary, trespassin­g and dealing in stolen property, records show.
