Carjacking, gun violence ends in three arrests

Posted on June 18th, 2010 No Comments

Three teenagers from Riviera Beach were arrested for culpability in a murder of one Lake Park man, the shooting of a West Palm Beach man, and the torching of a stolen car.

The suspects, aged 18-years-old, 17-years-old, and 15-years-old, were taken in by Riviera Beach police, and the 17-year-old and 15-year-old were handed over juvenile authorities.

The crimes took place over last week, beginning with a carjacking of a Nissan Sentra on Monday. Midnight on Wednesday, the men robbed two men drinking in a parked car. One of the men was shot in during the crime.

Around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, shots were heard around 4260 Leo Lane. Shortly after, the Lake Park man’s car crashed into a pole only blocks away. Witnesses claim they saw the suspects trying to open the man’s car door. When police arrived, the men had fled the scene. The Lake Park man was left with two shots in his right arm, one in his chest, and one in his groin. He was transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, but died shortly after.
