A deadly shooting occurred in Fort Pierce on July 5, resulting in the death of a 28-year-old man. The Fort Pierce Police Department responded to the 300 block of South 14th Street at 3:43 a.m. and found two adults, a man and a woman, with apparent gunshot wounds.
The 28-year-old woman sustained a non-life-threatening injury to her hand, while the man suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to a local hospital. He later died from his injuries.
