A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a triple homicide in a Jupiter neighborhood, police announced.

Christopher Vasata is facing charges that include three counts of first-degree murder for the Feb. 5 killings that happened at a home on Mohawk Street.

During a news conference Monday evening, Jupiter Police Chief Frank Kitzerow did not disclose the relationship between Vasata and the three people who were killed, but did confirm that Vasata was shot during the incident and was later located in Paseos neighborhood suffering from a gunshot wound.

The three people killed in the shooting were Brandi El-Salhy, 24, of Gainesville, Kelli J. Doherty, 20, of Tequesta and Sean P. Henry, 25, of Jupiter.

Vasata was a suspect early in the investigation and has since been recovering from his wounds at a hospital, Kitzerow told reporters. He said investigators think at least one other shooter was involved in the killings and that the investigation remains open and active.

Charlie Vorpagel, 27, who lives in the house where the slayings took place, was arrested on federal weapons and drug charges.
