Investigators identified the woman as Shadaryl Eddie. They allege she used personal information belonging to her sister, who died in December 2024, to obtain housing and presented documents at a rental property in the 2200 block of Northeast 12th Street on March 12, 2025.

The arrest report says Eddie showed a man a housing voucher, birth certificate and Social Security card bearing his information as she sought access to the residence. The man was the voucher’s legitimate recipient, investigators said.

The Broward County Housing Authority initially issued $8,357 connected to the voucher. On July 3, 2025, the man received a notice saying he owed that amount back because the voucher had allegedly been obtained fraudulently, according to the report. Investigators said the man’s housing-authority account was credited $8,357, leaving him without those funds during the investigation.

Authorities also cited lost rental income and expenses the man incurred to remove Eddie from the apartment. The total loss was estimated at more than $11,000.

The housing authority uses public funds to help eligible residents secure housing. The case involves not only the alleged use of a deceased person’s identity but also a voucher recipient who, according to investigators, was left with a repayment demand despite being the authorized beneficiary.

Jail records list one count of fraudulent use of a deceased person’s personal identification information involving $5,000 or more, and one count of grand theft of at least $5,000 but less than $10,000. Eddie was being held at the sheriff’s North Broward Bureau Friday morning, and bond had not yet been set. The allegations have not been proven in court.
