Carl Jones, a 32-year-old resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, tragically lost his life on December 25, 2022. The incident occurred in the evening, around 9:14 p.m., when Broward Sheriff's Office deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to a shooting call near the 2900 block of Northwest 8th Street in unincorporated Central Broward. Upon arrival, investigators found Carl Jones deceased at the scene, having succumbed to gunshot wounds. Another individual, Jacolby Lewis, aged 34, was also shot multiple times and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The investigation into Carl Jones's death led to the identification of Khambrel St. Hubert, a 25-year-old male, as the primary suspect. Detectives from the Broward Sheriff's Office's Violence Intervention Proactive Enforcement Response (V.I.P.E.R.) unit conducted a thorough investigation, which included gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. This led to the issuance of a warrant for St. Hubert's arrest. On February 9, 2023, V.I.P.E.R. detectives apprehended St. Hubert during a traffic stop, during which he was found in possession of an assault rifle. He was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Broward Sheriff's Office Main Jail.
Khambrel St. Hubert faces multiple charges in connection with the incident, including one count of felony murder, one count of attempted murder with a firearm, and one count of carrying a concealed weapon. The legal proceedings against St. Hubert are ongoing, as the case moves through the judicial system. The arrest and subsequent charges have brought some measure of closure to the family and friends of Carl Jones, who continue to mourn his untimely death. The community remains vigilant as they await the outcome of the trial and hope for justice to be served.
