🚨SHOOTING IN DELAND SUSPECT ARRESTED, VICTIM IN CRITICAL CONDITION🚨
Chaos erupted early this morning in the 1500 block of West New York Avenue, where deputies and DeLand Police raced to a reported shooting just after 5 a.m.
Units arrived to find a 47-year-old male victim lying in the carport, conscious but badly wounded with gunshot wounds to the face and hip. Deputies, police, and EMS worked urgently to control the bleeding before rushing him to a local hospital as a trauma alert. He was later listed in critical but stable condition.
The suspected shooter — identified as 41-year-old Anselmo Salazar Colin — was detained on scene without incident. Witnesses who fled the gunfire were located at the nearby Winn-Dixie parking lot, where investigators began piecing together the events of the night.
According to detectives, the shooting stemmed from a night of drinking between the suspect and his roommate, which escalated into violence.
🚨UPDATE: SUSPECT NOW FACING MAJOR CHARGES
Investigators have confirmed the shooter has now been arrested on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, along with active warrants for transmission of harmful material to a minor.
The defendant is currently being held with no bond at the Volusia County Branch Jail.
Due to his status as an undocumented immigrant, ICE has been notified of his arrest.
VSO detectives responded to multiple locations related to the case, including a pickup truck spotted near a nearby grocery store, believed to have been in the area when the shooting unfolded. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
