The corner of Lokanotosa Trail and Alafaya trail was the scene where shots were fired Sunday afternoon.
An aggravated assault with firearm occurred in the Walgreens parking lot near Campus Crossings, according to the incident report.
Two male victims were leaving Walgreens after purchasing cigarettes and when stopped at a stop sign, one of the victims said he noticed two unknown males fighting in the parking lot, according to the incident report. As he drove by, the victim said he saw another male walk up to the two men and join the fight.
“One of the suspects then ran away from the fight towards the street (Lokanotosa Trail) and [the victim] observed one of the black males fire at the running person,” the incident report said.
The victim also stated that he heard two shots, one of the rounds striking the passenger side of his vehicle and that two females were trying to break up the males from the argument as the vehicle drove onto Lokanotosa Trail towards Alafaya Trail, the report states.
The victim “stated he was in fear for his life and drove away from the scene” and returned to his apartment at Campus Crossings to pick up a firearm a friend gave him for protection before getting going to get gas, according to the incident report. Several deputies stopped the victim on the way back to his apartment.
The victim is willing to press charges and testify in court, the report said.
