Deadly Shooting at Lakeland Store Results in Fatality and Injury

A fatal shooting occurred at a Lakeland convenience store Tuesday evening, resulting in one death and one injury, according to authorities.

The Lakeland Police Department reported that officers responded to shooting reports at the Fast Stop convenience store on East Memorial Boulevard shortly after 6 p.m.

Police identified the victims as a 39-year-old man, who was declared dead at the scene, and a 19-year-old woman, who is in “stable condition.”

Authorities did not provide details on what may have led up to the shooting, but said the suspected shooter was detained at the scene and was being questioned by detectives.

The incident comes just weeks after another deadly shooting at the same convenience store. Police said Jessie Woullard, 45, was shot and killed at the store during a possible dispute over a stolen gun.

No further information was immediately available in Tuesday’s incident. News Channel 8 has a crew at the scene.
