David Pozner,Andrew Ferrin Obituary, Death; – The 43-year-old father accused of kidnapping a 4-year-old is also facing three counts of first-degree murder.
Deputies responded to a shooting early Sunday in Tamarac where Mary’s father, 64-year-old David Pozner, was found dead with a gunshot wound on the back patio of a 5897 North Plum Bay Parkway.
Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) discovered that 4-year-old Seraphina Gingles and her mother, 34-year-old Mary Gingles, were not in the home. This raised suspicion that the pair may be with Seraphina’s estranged father, Nathan Gingles, who Mary had a protection order filed against.
An AMBER Alert was triggered warning Broward County residents to be on the lookout for Mary and Seraphina before deputies say they located Seraphina with Nathan in his BMW x3 at 7900 West McNab Road in North Lauderdale around 11 a.m.
According to BSO’s V.I.P.E.R. (Violence Intervention Proactive Enforcement Response), Seraphina was located safe and unharmed. At 3 p.m., an additional update from BSO stated Mary Gingles was shot and killed at a home across the street on the 5888 North Plum Bay Parkway in Tamarac. Another victim, 36-year-old Andrew Ferrin, was also shot and killed in the residence.
BSO’s Dive Team later found a firearm in a nearby canal they believe Nathan used in the crimes. Nathan Gingles was taken to the BSO Public Safety Building. He was arrested and stands accused of three counts of first-degree murder with a firearm, violation of a domestic violence injunction, and interference with custody.
