An Airbnb guest shot an 18-year-old who allegedly broke into a Fort Lauderdale home during an attempted armed robbery, according to reports.
Two armed men allegedly entered the rental around 6 p.m. Thursday and became involved in a confrontation with the guest, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department told CBS Miami.
During the altercation, the unidentified renter shot suspect Dareon Pubien in the chest, police said.
Pubien allegedly ran from the property, but officers located him nearby after following a trail of blood around the corner, according to the report.
The injured teen was taken to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery and was listed in critical but stable condition.
Arthur Butler Jr. said he heard a barrage of gunfire across the street Thursday and called 911.
“Maybe at least 10, and then everybody was running,” Butler Jr. told the outlet.
Police also arrested Pubien’s alleged accomplice, 25-year-old Sean Thompson, in connection with the robbery. Both men were charged with attempted felony murder and home invasion with a firearm.
Thompson was ordered held without bond, while Pubien is expected to be arraigned after he is released from the hospital.
The Fort Lauderdale Police Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
