At about 10 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to the Wawa, 7289 Garden Road, for reports of a shooting. Officers found a juvenile male deceased of gunshot wounds and another person critically injured.

Riviera Beach Police did not release the name of the slain boy, but WPEC-Channel 12 has identified him as 15-year-old Anthony Thurston Jr. of Palm Beach Gardens.
