Deputies: Woman shot to death in Deltona, suspect in custody in Flagler County

DELTONA, Fla. — A woman died early Monday following a shooting in Deltona, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said.

According to VSO, deputies responded to the shooting in the 3200 block of Parma Drive shortly before 2:30 a.m.

Investigators said Flagler County deputies took a suspect into custody about an hour after the shooting.

VSO said deputies apprehended him after he crashed his car at a toll bridge near Hammock Dunes Parkway and Palm Harbor Parkway in Palm Coast.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office announced the closure of that bridge due to a “large law enforcement presence” in the area.

FCSO later reopened the bridge to motorists, but said the area would remain closed to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Volusia County investigators said the suspect and victim from the shooting were known to each other.

Channel 9 is working to learn more about their relationship and what led up to the shooting.
