ELLENTON, Fla. — The third and final person deputies say was involved in a Sunday shooting at the Ellenton Premium Outlets that injured an 18-year-old was arrested.
The 17-year-old reportedly turned himself in at the sheriff's office's operations center Tuesday afternoon after a warrant was out for his arrest. He's facing similar charges to the other two of attempted murder and will be booked at the Manatee Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
Earlier Tuesday morning, the sheriff's office also arrested another person they say was connected to the shooting.
While investigating, detectives were able to arrest the other 17-year-old during a traffic stop Monday night in Palmetto.
The teen has been charged with attempted murder and booked at Manatee Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
Deputies initially arrested a man early Monday in connection to a weekend shooting at the shopping mall that injured an 18-year-old.
Octavio Banos, 18, is charged with one count of attempted murder, according to the sheriff's office. He was arrested around 4:30 a.m. at his home after being identified as two of the three people accused of being involved in Sunday's shooting.
Deputies say evidence was collected after law enforcement executed a search warrant at Banos' house with the help of a SWAT team. The car used in the shooting was located at another home near the mall, the sheriff's office added.
The 18-year-old who was shot while shopping with a friend at the outlets on Factory Shops Boulevard is still hospitalized as of Monday morning. It's expected he will survive his injuries.
The teen shot was approached by three other men he knew and began to argue, the sheriff's office said in a news release Sunday. The 18-year-old's friend walked away from the argument and later, the three men walked up to the 18-year-old near the parking lot and another argument ensued, deputies say.
During the fight, one of the three men reportedly pulled out a gun and shot the teen. The man was struck in the leg and groin area of his body and left the shooting on foot, the news release said.
Law enforcement says the three men were seen driving away from the parking lot in a small black car. All three have now been arrested.
The shooting is still under investigation by detectives.
