According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting occurred during a disturbance outside the Cabana Live nightclub. An arrest affidavit from Orlando NBC affiliate WESH stated that a 16-year-old, not involved in the initial altercation, fired shots during the brawl, injuring 10 individuals. Fortunately, all victims are expected to recover. Law enforcement noted that a security guard intervened, apprehending the shooter shortly after the gunfire erupted.

The sheriff’s office reported that the teenage gunman was arrested and faced charges of attempted homicide, along with several other firearms-related offenses.

Dell emerged as one of the highlights of the Texans’ successful 2023 season. He amassed over 700 yards and scored seven touchdowns in 11 games before his season was cut short in December due to a fractured fibula.
