Authorities said they are searching for Florida man, Lewis Thomas Boone, the gunman in a shooting outside Seminole Towne Center mall Monday night.
Sanford police said Tuesday that they are searching for 20-year-old Boone who fled the scene.
People inside the mall were evacuated after a shooting in the parking lot just outside of a Burlington Coat Factory store, police said.
Officials said a 19-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. He is in stable condition, officials said. Police said they went to each store inside the mall and cleared them. source
Sanford Police Department officials said an investigation revealed the victim and Boone, who knew one another, got into an argument just before the shooting, adding that Boone left the area in a dark-colored, newer-model, four-door car.
“In any aspect, this is a public area,” Officer Bianca Gillett said. “A shooting should never take place in this vicinity. Again, we are not sparing any expense. We are doing everything in our power to thoroughly investigate this in a systematic way that will hopefully lead us to the shooter very quickly.”
TheCount.com has learned, Boone has several arrests on his record dating back to Jan 2016.
