Original Post: At approximately 11:38pm on October 5th, 2021, Port St Lucie Police responded to SE Green River Parkway after receiving a call about possible gunfire.
Upon arrival to the area Port St Lucie Police Officers saw a black vehicle pulled off the road facing South on SE Green River Pkwy. The vehicle was located between SE Melaleuca Blvd/SE Charleston DR.
Officers immediately began life saving measures on a 20-year-old female who was laying on the ground next to a 2019 Black Kia Forte. The female was transported to a local hospital where she tragically succumbed to her injuries.
The 21-year-old adult male was also transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He is cooperating with PSLPD Detectives.
A preliminary investigation revealed the adult male picked up the adult female at an address in Port St Lucie Lucie and was traveling South on SE Green River Pkwy. An unknown suspect vehicle fired multiple rounds in the vehicle, striking both occupants, and sadly killing one.
Port St Lucie Police Detectives are working to determine why this vehicle was targeted and what connection there is to our area. We will be working diligently to hold the individual(s) accountable for this tragic act of violence. Our thoughts & prayers are with the family who are dealing with their loss today.
