A 25-year-old Ocala man was arrested by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office in connection with a shooting that wounded a man in Deltona last year.
On May 18, 2022, shortly after 12:30 a.m., VCSO deputies responded to the 3200 block of Partridge Street in Deltona after receiving reports of a shooting in the area, according to a social media post from the sheriff’s office.
Upon arrival, the deputies located a 45-year-old male victim who had sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.
According to VCSO, the victim told investigators that he had just returned home and was in his driveway when a vehicle approached him. An unknown individual inside the vehicle then proceeded to shoot at him.
