HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -- A Hallandale Beach father is mourning the loss of his son, who was gunned down on a South Florida highway.

Malcolm Marshall Jr., 20, and his friends were headed to South Beach early Sunday morning when police say they exchanged words with a group in another car. As Marshall's car drove away, police say Willie Lumdson fired a single shot, killing Marshall.
