Aranee Mulakhut, a 47-year-old woman originally from Thailand, was tragically shot and killed on the night of December 26, 2020, at her apartment complex located at 321 E. Sheridan St. in Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, FL. The incident occurred shortly before 10:30 p.m. when deputies responded to reports of gunshots. Upon arrival, they discovered Aranee Mulakhut lying on the ground, suffering from a gunshot wound.
She was immediately transported to Memorial Regional Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
The investigation into Aranee Mulakhut's death revealed that she was shot just after parking her car at the apartment complex. Surveillance footage showed a white Nissan Maxima, believed to be the suspect's vehicle, pulling into the parking lot behind her. The suspect exited the vehicle, approached Aranee, and shot her before fleeing the scene in the same car. The vehicle was described as a white Nissan Maxima, model years 2009 to 2015, with large aftermarket rims and a black sunroof.
Despite extensive efforts by the Broward Sheriff's Office, including the release of surveillance footage and an increased reward for information leading to an arrest, the case remains unsolved. Friends and loved ones of Aranee Mulakhut have been actively seeking justice, contributing additional funds to the reward, which now totals $6,000. They have expressed their deep sorrow and hope that someone with information will come forward to help solve the case.
The Broward Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the homicide, urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or the lead detective on the case. The community remains hopeful that justice will be served for Aranee Mulakhut, a beloved member of the Thai community in Fort Lauderdale.
