Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office tactical deputies arrested two people in connection with a fatal shooting in Belle Glade earlier this summer, authorities announced Friday.
The arrests happened Thursday, Oct. 22, after a months-long investigation. Investigators identified E.M. III as the alleged gunman and T.D. as the suspected getaway driver. E.M. III faces a first-degree murder charge with a firearm. T.D. was booked on a charge of accessory after the fact to first-degree murder with a firearm. Both are being held in the Palm Beach County Jail.
The case began early on Sunday, July 5. Deputies were sent to the 500 block of Southwest Avenue B around 5:28 a.m. after reports of gunfire and found a man dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Authorities identified the victim as J.M.
Detectives with the Violent Crimes Division took over the case and followed forensic leads and vehicle movements before obtaining arrest warrants for both suspects.
