YOUR WEEKEND COMING UP WITH YOUR SEVEN DAY IN A SHORT BIT. ALL RIGHT SANDRA, RIGHT NOW, THE SEARCH FOR SUSPECTED SHOOTER ON THE TREASURE COAST CONTINUES. POLICE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR THIS MAN ON YOUR SCREEN AFTER 219 YEAR OLDS WERE SHOT, ONE IN THE HEAD AT A SHOPPING CENTER. JOLIE RODRIGUEZ JOINS US LIVE OUTSIDE THE PORT SAINT LUCIE POLICE HEADQUARTERS. WITH HOW THE CHIEF SAYS THIS ALL UNFOLDED. AND WE DO KNOW JOLIE. THEY’VE MADE TWO ARRESTS SO FAR. THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT, AARON. NATALIE, THE U.S. MARSHALS CONTINUING THIS SEARCH FOR THE ONE OF THE THREE SUSPECTS. POLICE HAVE SAID TWO OUT OF THE THREE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. THAT SUSPECTED SHOOTER IS NORION KOZMINSKI, WHO IS STILL ON THE RUN AND DOES HAVE A CRIMINAL HISTORY. NOW, ONE OF THE TWO ARRESTED IS THE DRIVER IN THIS INCIDENT, IDENTIFIED AS 18 YEAR OLD CHARLOTTE KEY. THE OTHER SUSPECT INVOLVED IS 19 YEAR OLD MARTAVIOUS BLU JUNIOR. ALL THREE OF THE SUSPECTS ARE FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES. POLICE SAY THE SHOOTING STEMS FROM A BUSINESS TRANSACTION. 219 YEAR OLD VICTIMS FROM GEORGIA WERE FOUND AT THE SCENE. POLICE TELL US ONE OF THE VICTIMS HAD A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD, AND THE OTHER WAS SHOT IN THE STOMACH. POLICE BELIEVE THE TWO VICTIMS ARE FRIENDS. NOW, CHIEF NIMS SAID THE BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT LED TO THE SHOOTING HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE. ALL STARTING AT A WALMART IN FORT PIERCE. VICTIMS WERE INVOLVED IN SOME ACTIVITIES OF THEIR OWN AND HAD INTEREST IN HAVING THESE CELL PHONES NOT IN THEIR NAME. SO WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED IS THAT THE SUSPECTS AT SOME POINT REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, AND THEY FIGURED THEY’D JUST ROB OUR VICTIMS AND TAKE THEIR MONEY FROM THEM. AND. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, THE U.S. MARSHAL IS THE ONE REALLY LEADING THE SEARCH FOR THAT THIRD SUSPECT. HE IS BELIEVED TO BE ARMED AND DANGEROUS. SO THEY ADVISE. IF YOU DO SEE HIM, DO NOT APPROACH HIM, BUT RATHER JUST

The Port St. Lucie Police Department arrested two people and personnel are seeking another in the wounding of two 19-year-old men at the Town Center at St. Lucie West on Saturday night. During a news conference Sunday afternoon, police Chief Leo Niemczyk said the incident stemmed from a pre-arranged transaction involving cellphones that escalated into an armed robbery. It began initially as a transaction at a Walmart in Fort Pierce.The two victims were shot in a white Tesla before law enforcement arrived, and they are being treated at separate hospitals, police said. The victims were identified Sunday as Antoine Myers and Jermonti Johnson, who were visiting from Georgia. Myers was shot in the head and is in grave condition, and Johnson was hit in the abdomen and is expected to survive, Niemczyk said. Officers responded at 6:36 p.m. to the 1600 block of Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard shopping center that includes an Aspen Dental, a Walmart Supercenter and a Miller's Ale House. Detectives and officers worked through the night into Sunday afternoon to develop leads and make arrests, Niemczyk said.Two of the three suspects were identified and taken into custody. Sharlett Nylav Key, 18, of Port St. Lucie, was identified as the driver."She drove the two suspects around Fort Pierce and to PSL and then away from the scene. She's familiar with the two suspects because they're friendly with another friend of hers," Niemczyk said. Martravious Aaron Blue, Jr., 19, of Fort Pierce, was listed as an associate. The third suspect, Norrien Casminski, 18, of Fort Pierce, has been identified as the shooter and remains at large. "He's out of Fort Pierce. ... Do not approach. He should be considered armed and dangerous," police said. "Your assistance is critical as we continue working to bring this individual into custody."Casminski does have a criminal history, including burglary, grand theft and violation of probation. Tipsters are urged to call 911 immediately. If you would like to provide a tip and remain anonymous, contact Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800
