BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) – A 19-year-old Palm Beach County man is accused of fatally shooting another man and injuring two others during an apparent robbery.

The shooting happened late Sunday near a field in Boynton Beach where the victims had been playing soccer.

Boynton Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said in a news release that Miguel Figueroa is charged with felony murder and robbery with a firearm. Investigators are looking for another suspect.

One man died at the scene. The others were treated for their injuries.

Slater says an officer and K9 tracked a possible suspect to an apartment. They detained Figueroa and later arrested him.

No further details were immediately available.
