WELLINGTON, Fla. — A man who was shot in a Wellington home earlier this week has died from his injuries, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Friday.

The shooting happened Monday just before 2:30 a.m. at a home in the 1200 block of Periwinkle Place.

PBSO spokeswoman Teri Barbera said there was a large crowd outside the home when deputies arrived. Preliminary investigation revealed a gun was fired inside the home. The wounded man was taken to a local hospital by a friend and died on Friday.

The shooting is now being investigated as a homicide.

No word yet on what led to the shooting or if deputies are searching for a subject.
