The State Attorney’s Office recently made the decision to charge 16-year-old Christopher Bouie Jr. as an adult for his role in the April 27 shooting at the Cabana Live club in the Port of Sanford. He faces five counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a minor.
Surveillance video from inside the club shows two people fighting before Bouie pulls a gun and fires multiple shots into the crowd.

Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said an entertainment promoter invited Dell to attend the event, but Dell had no other connection it.
Deputies say it’s still unclear how Bouie was able to get into the event at his age or how he acquired the gun.
