Derek R. Becker was found inside his apartment on the 4200 block of Community Drive shortly before 12:30 a.m. Sunday, north of the Keiser campus. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death appeared to be gunfire, police said.
Police are investigating Becker s death as a homicide. They did not release any details regarding the circumstances of what led to the incident.
