He was arrested and charged on October 25 after forensic and video evidence placed him at the site of a double homicide.
He was identified when investigators matched his blood to three samples recovered from the crime scene.
According to police reports, there was a barrage of bullets in the Blueberry Hill Condos, off Northwest 56th Avenue near Oakland Park Boulevard.
The shooting was captured on surveillance cameras.
The police reported that two males with gunshot wounds were found in the parking lot area. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses reportedly told investigators that other people involved in the shooting fled the scene.
A black sedan matching the reported description of the vehicle from the crime scene from which the shots were fired arrived at the HCA Florida Woodmont hospital and dropped off a man wearing the same outfit from the crime scene.
According to reports, the man was admitted in serious condition and officers sought to identify him using local database fingerprints but were unsuccessful.
The Border Patrol fingerprint scanner later identified the man as Jahreme Shelton who entered the country illegally.
