Investigators say the two men, identified as 63-year old Seibert Prescott and 30-year old Roger Bennett, had been involved in an argument with three other individuals.
As the argument grew more heated, and physical, one of the people Prescott and Bennett were fighting with pulled a gun. When the two men attempted to run away, they were shot.
Prescott and Bennett were taken to Broward Health Medical Center and where they were later pronounced dead.
