Deputies responded to a shooting and vehicle crash at the intersection of Westgate and North Congress Ave, West Palm Beach.

Deputies located another vehicle involved unoccupied in the parking lot of 1033 North Congress Ave, with heavy front end damage and several bullet defects.  The investigation thus far revealed the vehicles were shooting at each other on Westgate Ave while in motion, where the vehicle in which the deceased occupied lost control and crashed into a power pole. Unknown occupants were observed exiting the vehicle and fleeing eastbound while being shot at by unknown suspects who are believed to have occupied the vehicle that was located at 1033 North Congress Ave.  A second victim was located on scene with a gunshot wound to the arm and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
