WELLINGTON, FL -- The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is investigating a late night shooting at a residence in the 1400 block of The 12th Fairway.

A homeowner claims that two suspects broke into his residence just before 11:00 p.m. Thursday. One of the alleged intruders was shot during a struggle.

The person who was shot ran away but later turned up at nearby Wellington Regional Medical Center. He was then transferred to the Delray Medical Center, where his condition is not known.

The second suspect also fled, but remains at large despite a ground and air search.

Friday afternoon the sheriff's office identified the homeowner as Jonathan A. Babilonia.
