A Broward Crime Stoppers reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the individual believed to be responsible for the death of a 67-year-old Deerfield Beach man.

At approximately 11:52 a.m., on Friday, August 26, 2022, Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to an aggravated battery call at 331 S.W. First Terrace in Deerfield Beach. On scene, emergency crews located the victim, William Swackard, lying on the ground bleeding and unconscious.

Paramedics transported Swackard to Broward Health North, where he succumbed to his injuries several days later. Violent Crimes Unit detectives were notified and began an investigation. Earlier this year, the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Swackard’s death a homicide.

A witness on scene told investigators Swackard was physically assaulted by a man in his mid-30s wearing a white shirt and blue jean shorts. The subject was last seen headed north on a light-colored bicycle. Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 67-year-old’s murder and are in search of new leads.

Anyone with information on the subject’s identity or whereabouts is urged to come forward and call Violent Crimes Unit Det. Jennifer Petrofsky at (954) 321-4238 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App. . If you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477), online at browardcrimestoppers.org or dial **TIPS (8477) from any cellphone in the United States. Any information that leads to an arrest is eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
