Gunfire erupted around 6 p.m. Monday in a northwest Delray Beach neighborhood, leaving three people wounded and rushed to local hospitals, according to police. The shooting unfolded in the 500 block of NW 47th Avenue. Authorities said the suspected shooter has not been caught, but they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public. Detectives with the Delray Beach Police Department are keeping the investigation active.
Delray Beach police confirmed details of the incident to WPBF, which reported that three people were shot and transported to a hospital while officers canvassed the area for witnesses and surveillance footage. The station’s update, posted late Tuesday night, noted that detectives had not yet identified a suspect and that the case remained very much open.
Police say there is no ongoing public threat
Authorities told WPBF there was “no threat to the public,” even as they locked down the 500 block of NW 47th Avenue as an active crime scene. Investigators urged residents and nearby businesses to review their security cameras and share any footage that might help them piece together what happened or identify who pulled the trigger.
Part of a worrying run of violence
The incident is the latest in a troubling string of high-profile cases in Delray Beach this year, following a tense SWAT standoff in early March and a deadly stray-bullet fatality in February. Local coverage indicates Delray Beach police have been juggling several serious and highly visible investigations in recent weeks.
How to help investigators
Detectives are asking anyone who witnessed the shooting or captured video around the time of the attack to contact the Delray Beach Police non-emergency tip line at (561) 243-7800 or submit information through the department’s online portal. Investigators stressed that even brief clips or seemingly minor details could help move the case forward.
The investigation remains active, and police say they will release more information as it is confirmed. Hoodline will continue to track updates and add new details as Delray Beach authorities make them public.
