DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Delray Beach police are looking for info on a suspect they say was involved in a fatal shooting at Bi-Low Market Monday.
The shooting reportedly occurred at 11:51 a.m. Monday morning. When officers arrived at the convenience store at 24 NW 8th Avenue, they discovered victim Timmy Hayes, 30, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect fled the scene after the shooting, which police are calling a targeted attack. However, surveillance images from the convenience store show a man wearing a black sweatshirt with a white cross on the front and the quote "Pray about it as much as you think about it" on the back.
WPTV's Kayla McDermott spoke with the cashier who was working when the shooting happened. Dipta Saha says someone ran inside the store telling him to call 911. He says the victim was shot three to four times.
"I can't sleep last night. I can't eat anything," Saha said.
Pamela Williams lives a few blocks away from Bi-Low Market.
"I never feel safe. So now we are really on high alert," she said.
Williams says she's called police several times about suspicious activity at Bi-Low Market. She wasn't surprised to hear about the shooting.
"This is a haven for ill-gotten deeds. I can only imagine what that mother is going through so close to Christmas," Williams said.
As police investigate the shooting, Williams says she would like to see more officers patrolling this block.
"That's the least they can do to us taxpayers. We need help in Paradise Heights," she said.
The Delray Beach Police Department asks that anyone with information about the shooting contact Detective Kyle Kinney at 561-243-7828.
