Clematis Shooting 

The West Palm Beach Police office said a man got away from a car shooting incident around 1 A.M.. He was a passenger in the car that fled the shooting, and the driver ultimately escaped in a third vehicle. This was reported to happen between the Olive and Narcissus Avenue, the man has been identified as Montrez Grinnon, a 26 year old male. 

Grinnon was caught hiding underneath a car near a complex apartment in Deerfield Beach

According to the CBS12 News Grinnon was already arrested multiple times for crimes such as felonies in Beach County. His past charges include one in 2014 where he was arrested for obstruction of execution of a search warrant. This was when he was 18 years old.

In 2015 his charges were corruption by threat and possession of firearm by a convicted felon.

August 2021, he was arrested for cocaine trafficking and child neglect.

This February he was charged with trafficking fentanyl and cocaine, and driving with a suspended license.

Then in April, he was arrested for battery and strangulation, but the state did not file charges and he spent a total of 15 days in jail.

The shooting victim on Monday was a 24 yr old man, who had multiple shots on his body. He was reported in intensive care but expected to survive and recover.

The incident was not a random act, but it did not describe the relationship between Grinnon and the victim, according to the police.

He is being held on unrelated charges which include possession of a weapon by a career criminal and resisting an officer without violence.
