On May 5, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) announced on social media that on May 4 they responded to a call regarding a shooting that occurred around 5:25 p.m. in the 10500 block of Galleria St., Wellington.  When they arrived at the residence, they discovered one man and one woman had been shot dead.  That Wellington address is part of the Black Diamond residential development area.

Details surrounding the murders are still sketchy, but we do know that Scott was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, that he’s being held without bond, and he has been charged with two counts of premeditated first degree homicide.

Scott is 63 years old and his next court appearance has been scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on June 3., according to WPTV.  A police spokesperson said the “victims’ families have enacted Marsy’s Law to protect their identities but confirmed the suspect and victims were neighbors.”
