TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Two men have been arrested in connection with the shooting at The Commons apartment complex Thursday evening.
Roddrick Edison, 18, and La'Darius Boston, 19, were arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a unlicensed, concealed firearm.
When officers arrived on scene, they found two vehicles that had been hit by gunfire. The victims told them that their car was shot at as they were driving through the complex.
One of the victims was a Lyft driver who told police he was scheduled to pick someone up in the complex but didn't have a specific address.
Because of this, the victim drove through the complex looking for the client and while looking, saw Boston and Edison standing there. The driver slowed down to see if one of them was the client and as he did so, he saw the teens were armed.
As the victim started to drive out of the complex, both began shooting at his car. Police say the other victims gave a similar account as the Lyft driver.
According to TPD, witnesses told them that the armed suspects retreated into a nearby apartment after the shooting.
Officers responded to the apartment and arrested both Edison and Boston.
When they searched the apartment, they found two handguns and a stolen AR-15 rifle. Later on, officers learned that both men were involved in multiple shooting incidents in Lee County.
Edison and Boston were later taken to the Leon County Detention Facility.
