MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A shooting broke out at a home in Reddick over the weekend, though investigators are being left with little to work with, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
In a release, deputies said the incident happened around 1:50 a.m. on Saturday, when reports came in of several people being shot during a party in the 15800 block of NW 44th Avenue Road.
Upon arrival, deputies learned that multiple victims had already been taken to local hospitals, the release says. In all, five people were reported as being shot during the incident.
“At this time, some victims have been released from the hospital, while others remain under medical care,” the release reads.
But during the investigation, deputies set up roadblocks in the area, though many partygoers left the scene by driving through or around those checkpoints, the sheriff’s office revealed.
Detectives said they’ve already begun interviewing the people who were present. However, despite over 100 people attending the party, investigators were told that “no one saw anything” and only heard gunshots, investigators added.
“That is not credible,” the release continues. “Five people were shot. Someone in that crowd saw what happened and/or knows who was responsible.”
Now, the sheriff’s office is urging anyone with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at (352) 368-7867. Any tips leading to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward.
No additional information has been provided at this time.
