Palm Bay, FL – A Palm Bay resident was apprehended following a series of alarming incidents involving shooting from a vehicle and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
On Monday, law enforcement officers conducted a traffic stop at Minton Road and Emerson Drive in Palm Bay, where they made contact with the defendant Angel Sanes, a 33-year-old male, and a juvenile driver. The arrest followed a spree of reports involving a white Acura sedan which was allegedly seen driving erratically and shooting at people and vehicles.
Multiple agencies received calls about a white Acura sedan involved in shooting incidents. One report came from a victim at Target in the Hammock Landing plaza in West Melbourne. The victim alleged that a white sedan drove by, and the passenger began shooting a splat gun, hitting him several times in the back. The vehicle was later seen fleeing north on Norfolk Parkway.
Cameras later identified the vehicle around Norfolk Parkway, with footage showing a male suspect hanging out of the passenger window with a gun. The defendant was eventually located and stopped by Palm Bay Police on Minton Road.
