What happened: Two West Palm Beach men already behind bars on unrelated charges are now facing murder charges in connection with the January klling of a 23-year-old.
Background: Travis Towns and Carlos Peavy were each charged with second-degree murder in Christopher Coleman's death. Their arrest warrants were signed Friday and served while both men were in custody at the Palm Beach County Jail, according to police.
Coleman, who's from Lake Worth Beach, was sh0t and klled Jan. 2 after the vehicle he was riding in pulled into the parking lot of a community store at 2617 President Barack Obama Highway, police said.
Davis was not injured. The investigation involved the Riviera Beach Police Department as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies, which worked together to follow up on leads, collect evidence and identify those responsible, police said.
Investigators said evidence developed through technology and forensic science ultimately led to the arrest warrants for Towns and Peavy. While the sh00ting was initially believed to be targeted, police said there is no evidence indicating either suspect knew Coleman.
