The investigation is continuing into a Century double shooting a month ago that injured a 31-year old woman and her 16-year old boyfriend. So far, there have been no arrests in the case.

The shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. June 11, in the 7500 block of Jefferson Avenue in Century. Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies were told by a 31-year-old female victim that she and her 16-year-old boyfriend were shot as they were sitting in a vehicle in front of a residence.
