Detectives learned, based off evidence from the scene and witness and victim state- ments, that 22-year-old Kevin Marcel and three oth- ers were in front of a resi- dence in the area when a stolen black Infiniti slowly drove past. According to wit- nesses, the occupants of the car were wearing ski masks.
Soon thereafter, at around 7:50 p.m., the Infiniti re- turned and drove toward the residence again, this time, a passenger began firing a rifle out of the rear passenger side window.
Marcel fired his handgun at the vehicle. The Infiniti fled the scene, side-swiped a parked vehicle and crashed at the intersection of Fern Road and Maggie Circle.
Three suspects in the car fled the crash on foot. All three were apprehended by deputies.
The driver of the stolen car, Deshawn Williams, was transported to a local hospital with two gunshot wounds, one to his right knee and one to his right foot. He had no life-threatening in- juries and was treated, re- leased from the hospital, and later booked into the Polk County Jail.

a gunshot wound to his hip. He was admitted and is in sta- ble condition.

It was also learned that the Infiniti was stolen during a carjacking earlier that morning at the Tampa Truck Stop on U. S. Highway 301, in Hillsborough County, where the suspect was wearing a mask. A Smith and Wesson semi-automatic 22 caliber rifle was recovered from the neighborhood detectives be- lieve this was the rifle used by one of the suspects in the stolen Infiniti.
