During the course of the investigation, deputies said they discovered that the shooting occurred in the Ocala Ridge neighborhood and that Calvin Denard Epps, 20, was driving while Demetrius Antonio Wright, 19, fired at the vehicle Hugo was in.
Electronic data and witness statements confirmed that Epps and Wright were in the area at the time of the shooting, according to a news release.
A witness told deputies that he saw Wright firing through the sunroof of an SUV and that after the shooting, he received a call from one of the suspects saying that the witness should have been the one who was shot due to an online conflict.
