Teen critical after Riviera drive-by

One suspect is in custody, at least two others being sought.

RIVIERA BEACH — A teenage girl sustained life-threatening injuries during a drive-by shooting Friday that also wounded another person, Riviera Beach police said.

The teen and a man were shot shortly before 5:30 p.m. in the 1200 block of West 36th Street, near Avenue O, said Rose Anne Brown, spokes- woman for Riviera Beach.

The man’s injuries were not considered to be life-threatening. One suspect was taken into custody and police were searching for at least two other suspects, Brown said.

The shooting occurred at the same address where three people — a 14-year-old male, a 17-year-old female and a 25-year-old man — were shot and wounded Nov. 19. The suspects in that shooting have been identified but not yet apprehended.

Brown said Friday it was too early in the investigation to know whether the shoot- ings are related.

On Friday, shots were fired from a stolen black four-door Kia Optima as the vehicle traveled west on 36th Street. The driver fled before abandoning the car in the 3600 block of Avenue T. Officers located one suspect after setting up a perimeter.

The vehicle was reported stolen from Boca Raton on Dec. 10, Brown said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Riviera Beach Police Department at 561-845-4123, or Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 800-458-TIPS (8477).
