WEST PALM BEACH — A teen out on bond in a fatal 2016 crash now faces an attempted murder charge in a shooting Tuesday morning at a West Palm Beach apartment complex.

Marauaviou­s Hill, 19, of Riviera Beach, was arrested Thursday for reportedly shooting at a man and his sister shortly after 9 a.m. at the Palm Grove Apartments.

Judge Ted Booras on Friday ordered Hill held without bail during a bond hearing at the Palm Beach County Jail.

The woman told police she dropped her kids off at school, then received a call from her brother asking to be picked up at a friend’s home. They grabbed breakfast and headed to the complex on Australian Avenue north of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard.

As they pulled into the parking lot, they noticed a silver four-door sedan close behind them, she said. Then they saw “Q,” as Hill is known, point a gun at them and fire at least four shots.

The woman pulled her gun and shot back. She has a concealed-carry license, police records state, and immediatel­y turned over her gun to authoritie­s. She said she was terrified Hill would kill them. Neither was injured.

The woman said Hill fought her brother at the same apartment complex and threatened to kill him about a month ago.

At least two people have been fatally shot at that complex, according to a Palm Beach Post database. Taurean Lewis, 30, was killed and two others injured in a July 2015 shooting. Earnest Fulton Jr. was shot there in December 2012 and died nearly two years later.

Court records show Hill is facing charges in a 2016 crash that killed a motorcycli­st Jerry Parker, 62. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges and has a status check on the case in May.
