On Monday, police responded to reports of a disturbance near the 2000 block of Southwest 17th Street in the Leisureville community. Upon their arrival, officers discovered two victims who had been shot; they were pronounced dead at the scene.
The victims were later identified as Selicia Noreika and Freddy Bedasie, both 63 years old. Both victims resided at the same house, where the initial call of disturbance occurred.
At Wednesday's news conference, BBPD Chief Joseph DeGiulio said Noreika had called 911 to report a disturbance inside the home. During the call, dispatchers heard a struggle and gunshots before losing contact.
Responding officers found Noreika dead inside the home and Bedasie fatally shot in the driveway.
The suspect, identified as Jyuno Alexander Daniels, 32, was living in the home with the victims. Police believe an altercation between the three escalated, leading Daniels to open fire before fleeing the scene.
Daniels, a Texas resident, is wanted on two counts of first-degree murder.
Police said he may still be armed and dangerous. He is believed to be traveling on foot, with no access to a vehicle, and has no known criminal history. He is described as being 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet one inch, about 180 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black shirt with black shorts.
Police have partnered with the U.S. Marshals as they work to locate and apprehend Daniels. A handgun was used in the shooting, and no motive is known at this time.
DeGiulio urged residents to remain alert and said there will be an increased police presence in the area.
"The police department is out there keeping you safe every day," DeGiulio said.
Police said Thursday that Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County is offering a cash reward of up to $3,000 to anyone with information on the whereabouts of Daniels.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Boynton Beach Police Department's non-emergency tip line at 561-742-6156.
