Body found in Fort Pierce City Marina after report of gunshots
FORT PIERCE — Police have identified a body found Thursday in the water after reports of possible gunshots at the Fort Pierce City Marina, a police spokesperson said Friday.
Police shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday were called about possible shots at the marina and something floating in the water, Fort Pierce Police spokesperson Larry Croom said.
An officer got there within 3 minutes. A police boat quickly was launched and investigators confirmed a body was in the water. The body is that of a 30-year-old St. Lucie County man, though police did not immediately release his name publicly.
“It’s an open and active death investigation,” Croom said.
He said police do not believe there is any threat around the marina.
The body was found near the Crabby’s Dockside Fort Pierce restaurant, Croom said.
No other information was available Friday.
