On August 28, 2025, 25-year-old male Brandon Wamley—known in South Florida’s rap scene as Wam SpinThaBin—was shot in Hallandale Beach after a ShotSpotter alert drew officers to the 500 block of Northwest Sixth Avenue. Responding police found the 25-year-old wounded; he was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died. Authorities described the shooting as an isolated incident.
Investigators indicated early on that the victim and the gunman appeared to know one another, a detail that framed the attack as a confrontation that escalated into violence rather than a random act. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood, went door to door, and appealed for tips while examining the scene for evidence. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots, some taking shelter as gunfire rang out.
As the community reacted to the killing, local and music outlets identified Wamley by his stage name and confirmed the timeline of the attack and his death at the hospital. Memorial pages also documented the date and location of his death, reflecting the swift outpouring of tributes from fans and loved ones in the days that followed.
As of the latest reports following the August 28 shooting, Hallandale Beach police had not announced any arrests. Detectives were still searching for the suspected gunman and urged anyone with information to contact the department or submit anonymous tips to Broward Crime Stoppers.
