Pembroke Pines - A 46-year-old man who was shot and killed by police executing a search warrant for drugs was identified Friday as Vincent A. Hodgkiss.
Hodgkiss was shot in his home at 6824 SW 10th Court about 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, said Deputy Police Chief David Golt.
The Pembroke Pines police department's Special Response Team and narcotics detectives had entered the home to look for drugs, officials said.
Hodgkiss was shot when he confronted officers, police said.
Police on Friday also said they had arrested a Hollywood woman as a result of the raid.
Lisa Ann Jones, 19, faces one count of cannabis possession under 20 grams, Golt said.
Records show Hodgkiss has a concealed weapons permit, but police have not said whether he was armed when he was shot.
Police declined to provide further details about the investigation Friday.
Police said Thursday that three people in the home were taken into custody and a gun was recovered.
The name of the officer who fired the shots has not been disclosed.
Police said narcotics detectives watched the house and collected enough evidence to file for a search warrant that a judge signed Tuesday.
