Lake Mary, FL (July 9, 2018) – A shopping center shooting took place in Lake Mary that left one person dead and one with critical injuries, according to police. The incident took place at the Colonial Town Park shopping center.
The shooting occurred yesterday around 2 a.m. Deputies arrived at 951 Market Promenade Avenue and found two men with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to hospitals in the area.
Witnesses said that the incident took place at the Graffiti Junktion, which is located in the shopping plaza. Several people were involved in an argument and were told to leave the restaurant. The group got outside and the argument escalated, leading to one person shooting multiple rounds from a handgun. It is believed that at least one of the victims was involved in the argument.
The victim who might have been involved, a 35-year-old man, died from his wounds. The other victim was identified as a 28-year-old man who was believed to be an innocent bystander in the commotion. He remains in critical condition at the hospital.
One witness spoke to police and said that everybody had been having a good time at the restaurant, and then they suddenly heard gunshots. Two people have been taken into custody, but one of them has since been released. At this time, no charges have been filed and no names have been released.
