WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — West Palm Beach police said a 30-year-old man was found dead in an apartment early Friday evening and now authorities are looking for the killer.

Mike Jachles, a spokesman for the West Palm Beach Police Department, said police received a 911 call from a "hysterical person" at 5:43 p.m. Friday. The caller reported a person possibly dead in a unit at the Royal St. George at the Villages Apartment Homes in the 1600 block of Brandywine Road.

West Palm Beach police and firefighters arrived at the scene to find a man with a gunshot wound dead inside the second-floor apartment of the three-story building.

Jachles said detectives believe the killing was not random and said there were no signs of forced entry to the apartment, which did not appear to have anyone living in it.

Anyone with information about this shooting is urged to call Detective Ron Robbins at 561-822-1726 or Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 800-458-TIPS (8477).
