ORLANDO, Fla. – A 16-year-old arrested as part of the investigation into a “gang-related” shooting that injured four juveniles in Orlando’s Parramore neighborhood has been charged as an adult.
Cody Doggett faces a charge of attempted second-degree murder with a firearm in connection with the Feb. 15 shooting outside Sister Soul Food, according to court documents. He appeared in court on Saturday, where he was given no bond.
According to Orlando police, officers were called to the restaurant on South Parramore Avenue, where they found four juveniles suffering from gunshot wounds.
Three of the juveniles suffered non‑life‑threatening injuries. All were taken to a nearby hospital.
According to police, the shooting stemmed from a gang-related dispute, during which ”multiple individuals exchanged gunfire before fleeing in various directions."
Gunfire also tore through a woman’s hair bun inside the restaurant, pierced a television and a food container, and shattered multiple windows.
Orlando police said they later determined that Doggett returned to the chaotic scene about a minute after the initial gunfire and opened fire on the crowd helping the injured juveniles. One of those rounds struck the victim in the head, causing a critical injury.
Doggett’s next court hearing is set for Wednesday.
