Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies and U.S. marshals arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the November shooting deaths of two young men in suburban Boynton Beach.

Israel Fonseca was arrested late Monday on two counts of first-degree murder after deputies spotted him riding in a car in Wellington. After a short chase on 120th Avenue, Fonseca jumped from the car and fled through two canals. A police dog found Fonseca in a retention pond. He was taken to Palms West Medical Center with minor injuries.

The driver, Jasmin Rivas, 21, was charged with fleeing and elluding, accessory and aggravated battery.

Investigators say Fonseca was involved in the Nov. 15 shooting of Adrian John Waldron, 20, of Greenacres and 18-year-old Louis Joseph Tedesco of Palm Springs. The two were found shot to death in an SUV on Tucks Road west of Boynton Beach..




The only thing is his family will have to relive it all over again. But at least he's not getting away with it.

"Comes now the petitioner, and for his cause of action states the folllowing..."

It's just starting, deb....preliminary hearings, grand jury, indictment, bail hearing, motions to supress/dismiss, etc.

I pray that your friend does receive justice post mortem, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.

Don't remind me. Why don't they just shoot him 6 times in the chest and get it over with.

Trust me, Bill is right on things to come. It is so not over yet. I am going through the same thing. It has been almost two years and the guy who shot my friend Larry has not even had his trial yet. I do not believe the judge is going to allow anymore continuances though. Looks like the trial will get under way early February.

I am so glad they caught the guy who killed your friends. Regardless of all the court procedures and proceedings it always feels good that they at least have the murderer in a jail cell.

Just heard on local news that both are in jail without bond.

Excellent news. Maybe their family will get some sort of closure now.

I am happy that they caught him Deb, the rest will be tough but it will be worth it in the end.
