Two found shot after SUV crashes into tree in Titusville

Two people were found shot and a third suffered minor injuries after their vehicle crashed into a tree in Titusville, according to police.

Police responded to reports of a shooting just after 2 p.m. on Saturday and found that a black Toyota Highlander, which was stolen out of Cocoa Beach, had crashed into a tree on Day Street. Two of its occupants were found shot and a third had minor injures, but no gunshot wounds.

A preliminary investigation has revealed that the stolen sport utility vehicle was involved in a dispute with passengers in another vehicle. Police describe it as a dark-colored sedan.

Witnesses told police the two vehicles were "shooting at each other" as they drove down Day Street.

The SUV crashed into the tree and the sedan fled the scene.

An adult male and a juvenile were transported to hospitals with gunshot wounds. The third person injured in the crash, also a juvenile, has been taken into custody for questioning.

Anyone with information about this investigation should contact the Titusville Police Department and CRIMELINE at 800-423-TIPS.
