Orlando police have arrested a 20-year-old man that they believe is responsible for shooting into a crowd of people in downtown Orlando and injuring four individuals in the process.
On Wednesday, Antonio Terrell Jones, Jr. was taken into custody by Orlando Police Department detectives in connection with a shooting that took place nearly two years ago.
According to OPD, on November 1, 2021, at approximately 1:19 a.m., multiple shots were fired into a large crowd near 53 North Orange Avenue, in downtown Orlando.
Responding police located four victims lying in various places around the roadway, all suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers rendered aid to the victims at the scene before they were transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
After the shooting, Orlando police began searching for the shooter amidst a large crowd of people who were running after having heard the gunshots.
Over the past two years, Orlando detectives worked to identify the suspect.
On Wednesday, Jones was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder with a firearm, three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, five counts of discharging a firearm in public, and carrying a concealed firearm.
Jones, who is from Orlando, is currently incarcerated at the Orange County Jail on no bond.
