Delray Beach police are searching for a gunman after officers found a man shot to death early Sunday in a quiet residential neighborhood. Investigators locked down the area, collected evidence and knocked on doors in the surrounding blocks, looking for anyone who might have seen or heard something.
Officers were called at about 4:50 a.m. to the 500 block of Southwest 15th Terrace, east of Interstate 95 and south of West Atlantic Avenue, where they discovered the man already deceased, according to WPBF. Detectives are actively working the case and continuing the search for the shooter, spokesman Ted White told the station. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Cushnie at 561-243-7665, WPBF reports.
City Communications Point Person
The City of Delray Beach communications page lists Ted White as the Public Safety Information Officer, the official responsible for handling media questions and issuing updates on police incidents, as shown on the city's website. That page serves as the primary outlet for official statements and media contacts after major public-safety events.
Where The Probe Stands
As of Monday night, investigators had not released any description of a suspect, a possible motive or the victim's identity while they continue to follow leads in the area, according to WPBF. Police are asking anyone with dash-cam, doorbell or other video from the neighborhood from early Sunday morning to share it with detectives.
How This Fits Locally
The killing is the latest serious shooting in Delray Beach this year, following a fatal home shooting in February and a March incident that left multiple people wounded, highlighting ongoing public-safety concerns in parts of the city. For earlier coverage of those cases, see WFLX and BocaNewsNow.
