A victim has been identified after a shooting on Nasturtium Drive early Monday morning.

The victim has been identified as 63-year-old Denis Patrick Carmody.

Charlotte County deputies responded to Nasturtium Drive in Punta Gorda in reference to a shooting in front of a home shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Monday.

“As always, I want to thank the Charlotte County community for their patience as my Major Crimes Unit conducts a thorough investigation to determine what happened,” said Sheriff Bill Prummel. “Any death investigation is saddening, but one in the middle of the holiday season hits a little harder. Please pray for the family and loved ones of Mr. Carmody as they now cope with his loss.”

CCSO said a person of interest has been placed under arrest on unrelated charges.

The investigation is still active and ongoing.
