A shooting on SE Citrus Way in the Banner Lake area of Hobe Sound left one person with life-threatening injuries overnight, and detectives have detained another person as they try to piece together what happened. The victim was flown to a hospital by air ambulance, while investigators questioned the detained individual about the incident.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting, according to WPBF, which first reported that detectives detained one person and were questioning them about the incident. The station reports the gunshot victim was flown to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, though the person’s identity has not been released.
Investigators Working Through the Night
Detectives told the outlet they would be working through the night to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The sheriff’s office said it would provide an update on the case as more information becomes available, per the same report.
No details have been released about what led to the shooting, how the victim was wounded, or whether the person being questioned is considered a suspect. Those specifics remain unknown as the investigation continues.
A Separate, Earlier Shooting in the Same Neighborhood
A Separate, Earlier Shooting in the Same Neighborhood This is not the first time gunfire has rattled the Banner Lake community. An earlier case covered by WPBF described a fatal shooting on a different street, SE Begonia Way, where deputies responded at around 6 p.m. to find that an earlier WPBF report described as an altercation between two men in the middle of the street, which ended when one shot the other. The earlier fatal shooting was on SE Begonia Way; Wednesday night’s incident was on SE Citrus Way.
For now, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details on the current case, and the promised update had not yet been published as of this report.
