The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) has announced the arrest of a suspect in connection with a double homicide that occurred Saturday afternoon in West Palm Beach. Authorities have identified the alleged shooter as Erasmmo Perazaledesma, a convicted felon who now faces multiple felony charges, including two counts of first-degree murder. The deadly incident unfolded on the 3700 block of Nokomis Avenue, leaving two men dead and a community shaken. PBSO deputies responded quickly to the call and apprehended the suspect at the scene.
Deadly Shooting Claims Two Lives
At approximately 3 p.m. on Saturday, deputies were dispatched to Nokomis Avenue following reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, they discovered two men who had been fatally shot. Despite efforts from first responders, both victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Their identities have not yet been released to the public pending family notification. Also found at the scene was Perazaledesma, who appeared to be suffering from minor injuries. Authorities did not specify how he was injured, but his wounds were not life-threatening. He was taken for medical evaluation before being placed under arrest.
Arrest and Charges Filed
Once Perazaledesma was medically cleared, deputies transported him to the Palm Beach County Jail. He has been formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. These are serious offenses, and prosecutors are expected to pursue the case aggressively. According to PBSO, Perazaledesma has a criminal history, which makes his possession of a firearm illegal under Florida law. The exact circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation, including the motive and any potential connection between the suspect and the victims. Perazaledesma is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday morning, where a judge will likely address bail and other preliminary matters. The Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office will determine the next steps in prosecution as more evidence is gathered.
Community Reaction and Ongoing Investigation
The double homicide has sparked concern in the surrounding West Palm Beach neighborhood, a typically quiet area now rattled by the weekend violence. Law enforcement officials are working to piece together the events that led to the shooting and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Investigators are continuing to collect evidence, speak with witnesses, and examine any surveillance footage from the area. While Perazaledesma is currently the only suspect, officials have not ruled out the possibility of additional arrests if new evidence emerges. PBSO has assured the public that they are committed to transparency and justice in this case. As the investigation develops, more details will be released to help bring clarity to this tragic event.
