Bradenton Police (BPD) said they arrested two teens for a shooting that left one person dead and two others injured Sunday morning.

The homicide occurred at Rossi Park, located on the Bradenton Riverwalk.

At 4:07 a.m., dispatchers received a call about shots fired at the park. Officers found three victims with gunshot wounds and rendered aid.

EMS took the victims to hospitals, where one victim was pronounced dead. The other two victims are receiving treatment.

Police arrested Fredrick Kelly, 18, and a 17-year-old, for second-degree murder charges.

Authorities later said one of the guns used by the suspects was stolen from an unlocked car in Bradenton in 2023.

The BPD said the investigation is active and ongoing.
