Volusia County, FL (March 10, 2019) - Police in Volusia County have announced the arrests of three individuals in connection with the shooting of a 19-year-old in Deland.
Police say that 19-year-old Nicholas Millar was test-driving a motor scooter when three suspects riding in a Chevy TrailBlazer confronted him. One of the three produced a gun and shot Millar. Millar then ran towards his home, alerting his stepfather, who called 911. Rescue workers arrived on scene and airlifted Millar to Halifax Health Medical Center, where a bullet was removed from his neck.
Police later arrested 15-year-old Martin Perry, whom they believe was the shooter, along with 17-year-old Damion Dupree and 18-year-old Nicholas Brown. Brown was charged with being a principal to aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The other charges were not available because the suspects are juveniles.
