BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – The sheriff’s office reports that an additional suspect is now in custody following a shooting incident near a Brevard County store last month, which resulted in a 1-year-old being injured.
Deputies announced on Tuesday that Lynnard Woods, 19, was located at a residence in Canaveral Groves, thanks to efforts by the “GAMEOVER” Task Force from the sheriff’s office.
Investigators said that agents ordered Woods to exit the home, and he complied.
“You’d think someone bold enough to open fire in parking lots would put up more of a fight, but when Woods saw who was after him, he was smart enough to surrender,” the release states. “Just like that, he stepped outside and turned himself in.”
Now, Woods faces charges of aggravated child abuse, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to commit a felony, discharging a firearm in public, and open carrying a weapon. He is held on no bond.
The whole incident kicked off on May 13, which is when deputies said that three people pulled up to Cocoa Meat & Produce on Burnett Road and ended up in a shootout with a 17-year-old.
At the time, the teen was walking with a woman and her 1-year-old child, the latter of whom was shot in the leg while in a stroller, according to court records. The child is expected to be OK.
The sheriff’s office said its deputies have responded to some kind of incident more than 70 times at the store in the last year, including three shootings.
