Overview
- Video released by the Lake County sheriff's office showed a blue Honda Accord enter a neighborhood and a passenger firing multiple rounds near Ellsey Street and Hollywood Avenue on Wednesday, and deputies are asking the public to submit tips (case No. 260061085).
- Eustis police said two separate drive‑by shootings occurred about 90 minutes apart on Friday at 701 E. Hazzard Ave. and 1502 E. Lakeview Ave., and they are treating the incidents as connected.
- Officers found roughly 30 9mm shell casings at the Lakeview Avenue scene and recovered an AR‑15‑style rifle, a mounted gun laser and ammunition during the investigation.
- Police have identified five suspects linked to the shootings and have arrested two of them so far; investigators interviewed three juvenile females connected to one vehicle stopped near the first scene.
- Residents were struck by gunfire and a homeowner said they did not know the shooters, and authorities warn the arrests may not be final as they continue to gather video, witness tips and physical evidence to clarify who fired where and why.
