Two men have been charged with the cold case murder of a 26 year-old Broward County man which originally occurred in 2006.

The body was found at approximately 5 a.m. on June 10, 2006, located near Forest Hill High School in the 800 block of Lytle Street. Above him was written in spray paint, “Mala Suerte,” or “Bad Luck” in Spanish. According to the police report, the body had been shot several times, and later burnt. Investigators in the case believe that the motive for the murder was tied to a drug transaction. After killing the man, the suspects dumped his body in West Palm Beach and attempted to burn away any chance of identifying the victim.

One of the men arrested was a 32 year-old Miami-Dade man. The other was already in police custody, found in a Miami federal prison for armed robbery in an unrelated case. A third man, 30 years of age, is currently hiding in a foreign country, say authorities, avoiding possible extradition.

The case has been handled by five different law enforcement groups.
