Teen killed in Greenacres drive-by shooting survived prior attack outside medical office, PBSO says
GREENACRES — A 17-year-old male who survived being shot at in Greenacres last month was killed Tuesday morning in a drive-by shooting, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responded shortly after 10 a.m. to a call in the 500 block of Fleming Avenue, about three-quarters of a mile southwest of John I. Leonard High School, and found the teen deceased from an apparent gunshot wound.
PBSO investigators have not disclosed the name of the teen, but said he was the same person wounded in a shooting April 13 outside a medical office in the 4900 block of 10th Avenue North.
