LAND O' LAKES, Fla. — Two people have been arrested in connection to the drive-by shooting.
Police say they arrested Charmille Vincent 18, of Land O' Lakes, on five counts of attempted homicide and one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle, after he was identified as the shooter in this case. An additional suspect, Okeese Shuriah 17, identified as the driver of the vehicle was also arrested in Hillsborough County. He is also charged with five counts of attempted homicide.
The shooting left two Land O' Lakes High School students with minor injuries.
They say the shooting happened early Saturday morning in the Lake Padgett Estates area. PCSO says the shooting involved multiple Land O' Lakes High School students, and they believe all parties involved were juveniles known to each other.
The sheriff's office released surveillance footage from a home in the Lake Padgett Estates neighborhood which shows a vehicle they believe is involved. They say it appears to be a black BMW four-door sedan.
Sheriff Chris Nocco says the two students who were shot did not require hospitalization, and that they are recovering.
Sheriff Nocco also says that while this investigation is ongoing, Land O’Lakes High School will see an increased law enforcement presence.
“We are going to work diligently to make sure that nobody dies because of this violence,” said Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.
