A peaceful suburban community in the Village of Wellington was disrupted by violence when a 63-year-old man allegedly shot and killed two of his neighbors after a dispute last Saturday.

Norman Scott, the accused, is now facing two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm, as confirmed by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. According to WFLX, deputies responded to the incident at approximately 5:25 p.m. in the Black Diamond residential area, and upon their arrival, they found the two victims, a male and a female, dead from gunshot wounds. Scott was arrested and is currently held without bond; during his first appearance in court, no criminal history came to light.

The shooting took place in the 10500 block of Galleria Street, with the authorities quickly arresting Scott and taking him into custody, reports from Boca News Now show. Detectives from the Violent Crimes Division are now spearheading the investigation into what is being treated as a double homicide.

Details about the victims remain scarce due to the invocation of Marsy's Law by the families, preserving their anonymity. However, it has been established that the deceased shared a neighborhood with Scott. Tensions between the parties crescendoed into fatal violence, resulting in Scott allegedly unleashing fatal shots, each one unraveling the fabric of a once-tranquil street, leaving behind grief and unrest, according to the sheriff's office spokeswoman, Teri Barbera. Scott's next court appearance is set for June 3 at 10:30 a.m.
