WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Police are investigating after a pizza delivery driver was found shot to death after a delivery in West Palm Beach, Florida earlier this week.
The West Palm Beach Police Department said that just before 1 p.m. Tuesday they received a call about a shooting near Ninth Street and Douglas Avenue, according to WPEC. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man with gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Investigators said that the man was a Domino’s driver who just delivered pizza to a birthday party in the area, WPTV reported.

An elementary school in the area was placed on a code yellow briefly after the shooting, the news outlet reported.
