BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Boynton Beach police need your help investigating a shooting late Halloween night.
Officers say around 10:30 p.m. Monday, a 15-year-old boy was shot in the lower back. Police found the victim inside a car on Northeast 13th Avenue, just east of Seacrest Boulevard.
According to reports, the teenager was shot in another vehicle a block away.
