The shooting occurred outside the Victory City Church in Riviera Beach. Police said a 15-year-old boy and an adult male died at the scene.
Police said gunfire erupted at 2:34 p.m. outside of Victory City Church in Riviera Beach, about 5 miles north of West Palm Beach. First responders arrived to find three people shot.
Police said that 47-year-old Royce Freeman and a 15-year-old boy, who police declined to identify, died at the scene. Police said the shooting happened shortly after a funeral service had ended. While the investigation is ongoing, Riviera Beach Police spokeswoman AJ Walker said investigators believe it happened because of a fight between relatives of the person whose funeral was held.“The shooting was not a random act of violence. The victims and the shooters were known to each other,” police said late Saturday, revealing that more than one person fired shots.
