PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Three men were found shot in their vehicle — one died, another injured and a third not injured — in West Palm Beach early Sunday, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies patrolling in the 2800 block of North Military Trail, north of Okeechobee Boulevard near West Palm Beach, heard what sounded like gunshots about 1:30 a.m., but no victims were found when they arrived, sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said in a news release.
A short time later, sheriff's dispatchers received a call from West Palm Beach police and Florida Highway Patrol that victims of a shooting were found in a vehicle on Interstate 95 northbound just south of 45th Street.
The injured man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The uninjured man told deputies that he and the others were in the area of the shopping plaza where the gunshots were heard, Barbera said.
Detectives are investigating the shooting as a homicide. Suspect information and the motive are unknown at this time.
