Downtown Gainesville shooting stemmed from altercation at high school prom party

Gainesville Police Department detectives are continuing to investigate a downtown shooting on May 18 that left one person injured.

GPD believes the shooting, which occurred at about 12:45 a.m. in the area of Southwest First Avenue and Southwest First Street, stemmed from a physical altercation at a high school prom afterparty.

One juvenile male was shot, according to GPD, and transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A person of interest is shown in a May 18 shooting in downtown Gainesville.

GPD is asking for the public’s help in identifying persons of interest in the case. Surveillance video shows two unidentified persons running away from the shooting near The Bull, a bar at 18 SW First Ave. One is a white male with blond hair in a bun wearing a dark-colored shirt with shorts and dark-colored shoes. The other is a white male seen wearing a “purple-ish” shirt and a baseball hat.

Anyone with information is asked to call GPD Detective Bernal at 352-393-7729 or email *****@*****.tld. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 352-372-7867 or visit www.stopcrime.tv.
