The witness saw a man wearing an orange shirt and a black mask approach Blake, take out a handgun, and shoot him in the back of the head, the affidavit stated. He then took off running.

Blake died days later at the hospital. A second person was injured in the leg.

Detectives found through their investigation that Everett was relieved from his position at Coaster Furniture in May. He used to be romantically involved with a fellow employee but they recently broke up. According to the affidavit, Everett recently met up with his ex to ask if she and Blake were together, but she told him they were only friends.

Police used cellphone data and surveillance footage to connect Everett to the shooting.

He was booked into Broward County’s main jail without bond.
