BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Palm Beach Sheriff's deputies are searching for teenage suspect who shot another man at a home in Boynton Beach around 5 p.m. Sunday evening.

PBSO spokeswoman, Teri Barbera, said the victim was shot in the arm and in the back of the neck by his girlfriend's 17-year-old son, Joel Davila, following an altercation.

Davila ran from the home after the shooting, according to Barbera. Deputies have set up a perimeter around the residence in the 1600 block of NW 21st Street in Sand & Sea Mobile Home Park to find the alleged shooter.

The victim was airlifted to Delray Medical Center for treatment.

Davila is considered armed and dangerous. He was last seen wearing a blue and white letterman jacket, black ball hat, and blue jeans.

If you see a man matching Davila's description, you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-Tips.
