Jupiter Police said Monday they had a person of interest in what they were calling targeted killings of three people at a Superbowl Party. A man at the party opened the door to the shooter, who attacked him. The victim was able to escape, running about a mile south to the intersection of Paseos Way and Via Veracruz before collapsing, police said. It is unclear whether the fourth victim suffered gunshot or stab wounds, but a friend said he was in ICU. Witnesses report hearing about eight gunshots five minutes after the game ended. One neighbor said he saw a man fire a gun and then escape in a dark sedan. Police later found a car matching that description abandoned on I-95. Police identified the victims as Sean Henry, 26; Kelli Doherty, 20; and Brandi El-Salhy, 20. A man who did not want to be identified told WPBF 25 News that he had been dating El-Salhy for about a month and was invited to the party, but couldn’t go. He said he texted with her about 30 minutes before the murders, and called police to tell them what he knew. “This might help, I don’t know, but I talked to her at 9:36 and everything seemed normal, nothing out of the ordinary that would make me question the condition of her life,” the friend said. Police assured residents they were not in danger and said the killings were targeted toward at least one of the victims. The Jupiter community is coming together to support the families of the shooting victims. CraftBar Kitchen will be holding a fundraiser Thursday At 7 p.m. All proceeds collected from the $10 entrance fee will be donated directly to the families. Doherty worked at the CraftBar Kitchen briefly over the summer. General Manager Kelly Dakas told WPBF 25 News that she was also best friends with the head bartender, Mariah, who she described as doing "okay" though still in the grieving process. "She's been best friends with her for 16 years," Dakas explained. Fifteen other employees worked at the restaurant and knew Doherty as well. Dakas said on Monday morning, as word slowly spread of the shootings, her staff took it hard. "I know she was really energetic. I heard she was a great surfer. I know she had a great heart and she was a lively 20 year old," Dakas remembered. "It's a devastating situation." A GoFundMe account has also been set up for the families. It's called Jupiter Shooting Victim Fund.
