An 18-year-old convicted felon in Florida has been arrested after he allegedly shot his 20-year-old brother during a fight over a video game console, RadarOnline.com has learned.
According to the Sebastian Police Department, officers responded to an apartment complex in Sebastian on the morning of Nov. 9, regarding a disturbance between Jalynn Joseph and his brother, as Front Page Detectives reported.
An attorney for Barry said the evidence suggests that someone else abducted and killed his late wife.
The officers determined no crime had been committed, so they returned to their patrol vehicle, officials said.
While the officers were still in the parking lot, they heard a gunshot. They then spotted one of the brothers fleeing from the apartment, followed by the brothers’ father, who was yelling that the fleeing suspect had just shot the brother, authorities said.
The parents fled the scene and did not take the child to the hospital for fear of being arrested for outstanding warrants, cops said.
Police chased the suspect and apprehended Joseph in nearby woods, officials said.
The officers were also able to recover a firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.
