Man kills neighbor who broke into his parents' Oakland Park townhouse

OAKLAND PARK, FL -- A man shot and killed an intruder who was breaking into his parents' townhouse in Oakland Park today, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

The intruder, Jeremy Goldwire, 20, lived across the street from the gated community where the shooting happened.

Richard McKinley, 26, was sleeping in his parents townhouse at 3259 NW 44th St. around 11:54 a.m. when he was awakened by a noise, according to the sheriff's office.

McKinley came face-to-face with three intruders and pulled out a gun. There was a brief struggle and then McKinley shot Goldwire, a BSO spokeswoman said.

Goldwire died at the scene. McKinley suffered minor injuries but did not need medical attention.

Deputies are investigating and continue their search for two possible accomplices to the home invasion.

Less than two hours after the shooting, Paul and Victoria McKinley returned to their pink townhouse in the Montage by the Lake complex to find swarms of police and TV reporters.

The couple said their son was ``doing fine.''

Family members of the dead intruder were also at the scene.
