A manhunt is underway in Clearwater, Florida, following a shooting on Saturday morning that left a 51-year-old man dead and his 43-year-old girlfriend injured. The incident occurred at Washington Square apartments after a dispute involving the woman’s 19-year-old son. The man later died from his injuries at Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital. The suspect remains at large, according to WFLA.

Witnesses reported that the suspect arrived at the apartment, and a confrontation quickly escalated, suggesting the incident may have been targeted rather than random. The police have not yet released the suspect's identity. The woman who was shot survived, received treatment for her injuries, and has been discharged from the hospital, as detailed by WTSP.

The Clearwater Police Department is actively investigating a deadly shooting and is asking for the public's help in locating the suspect. "Homicide detectives are actively investigating the shooting," officials said, emphasizing the possibility of premeditation in the attack. The police have not released further details about the suspect or the investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Clearwater Police at 727-562-4242 to assist in the case, as stated by WFLA.
