On Thursday around 6 p.m., an Airbnb rental in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, became the scene of an attempted home-invasion robbery. Two armed men broke into the property, leading to a confrontation with the renter, who was also armed. The unidentified renter shot one of the intruders, Dareon Pubien, 18, in the chest. Pubien fled on foot but left behind a trail of blood that led police to him. He was taken to a local hospital where he was listed as critically injured but stable after surgery.
The second suspect, Sean Thompson, 25, was apprehended by police and both men face charges including attempted felony murder and home invasion with a firearm. Pubien will be arraigned once released from the hospital, while Thompson was ordered held without bond. Neighbors reported hearing at least ten gunshots before people started running, prompting one resident to call 911.
