The shooting between two cars happened before 6 p.m. Dec. 29 in the 1200 block of Mentone Road near Boynton Beach in the San Castle neighborhood.
A stray bullet struck a bystander in his home. The man, who was not identified because his family invoked the Marsy's Law exemption that allows crime victims and their families to withhold their names from public information, died at the scene.
