Marc Wesley Examon, aged 29, tragically lost his life on January 9, 2022, in Coral Springs, Florida. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, around 4:30 a.m., when Examon was fatally shot in the driveway of his home at 4111 NW 66th Terrace. According to the Coral Springs Police, the shooting was the result of an attempted armed robbery. Examon, who was armed, exchanged gunfire with the assailant, Carl Auguste. Both men were wounded in the exchange, but Examon succumbed to his injuries at Broward Health North.
The investigation revealed that the incident was not random but a targeted attack. Surveillance footage captured the moments leading up to and following the shooting, showing Auguste limping away from the scene towards a getaway car. Further investigation indicated that Auguste had been dropped off at Florida Medical Center with gunshot wounds to his leg. The police were able to connect him to the crime through the surveillance footage and the vehicle used in the escape.
Court records later disclosed that Examon and his girlfriend had been at The Playhouse Gentlemen’s Club in West Park until 4 a.m. on the night of the incident. It is believed that Auguste, along with possibly other individuals, followed Examon from the club to his home. Upon arriving at his residence, Auguste attempted to rob Examon of his valuables, including his watch and necklace, leading to the fatal confrontation.
Carl Auguste was charged with first-degree murder for the killing of Marc Examon. The case was marked by significant evidence, including surveillance videos and witness testimonies, which supported the charges against Auguste. The investigation into the murder was thorough, ensuring that the incident was isolated and that the community was reassured of their safety. The legal proceedings against Auguste were ongoing, with the police continuing to gather evidence and build a strong case to ensure justice for Marc Examon.
