Two men are dead and two others are hospitalized after an early-morning shooting Dec. 10 in Lake Worth Beach following a holiday party.
All four men worked at the Old Key Lime House restaurant in Lantana.
Restaurant owner Ryan Cordero could not be reached for comment. But he told television station WPTV-Channel 5 that his employees went to The Rock Irish Pub at 614 Lake Ave. after a company party at nearby Lilo’s Streetfood & Bar.
Deputies were sent to the scene at 1 a.m., the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
“The preliminary investigation is believed that an altercation occurred inside the establishment resulting in the shooting,” PBSO said in a news release.
Cordero told the TV station that the hospitalized workers were his kitchen manager and one of his line cooks. The dead men were a young military veteran and a barback, he said.
PBSO is asking anyone with information related to the case to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477).
