No Bond For Hollywood Man Accused Of Killing Father

HOLLYWOOD (CBSMiami) – Jamal Hall, the man suspected of stabbing his father to death in Hollywood on Monday night, is not getting out of jail anytime soon.

Hall stood before Broward County Judge Joseph Murphy III on Wednesday morning on a count of first degree murder.

"Mr. Hall, you're charged with premeditated murder. No bond," the judge said. "The court finds probable cause."

At the crime scene it was clear this was a gruesome crime. A trail of blood and evidence markers shows that after being stabbed, the victim, Malik Hall, staggered from his second floor condo down a staircase and wound up outside the door of a downstairs neighbor. There was blood everywhere.

People who live in the condo complex in the 2500 block of Pierce Street say it was unclear if Jamal Hall lived with his father.

Inside the condo, you could see a small, decorated Christmas tree near the front window and there was a holiday wreath on the front door next to a piece of crime scene evidence tape sealing the door shut.

According to Hollywood Police, a 911 call came in around 9:30 p.m. on Monday night about a struggle between two men. When detectives arrived they found Malik Hall with multiple stab wounds. He died at the scene.

Investigators say Jamal Hall fled the condo in a red Camaro and led officers on a high speed pursuit. The pursuit went through Miami-Dade and Broward counties and ended on the Turnpike near Commercial Boulevard. FHP says that during the chase Hall attempted to ram the patrol car pursuing him.

FHP says a trooper was able to tap the side of Hall's car, causing him to spin out. That ended the chase and officers arrested Hall.

At this point it's unclear what sparked this violence that led to the stabbing.
