Among the victims is Tank Dell, an American football player for the Houston Texas of the National Football League (NFL).
The shooter, who was arrested shortly after because a patrol was in the area, went to a place called Cabana Live after midnight where a private party was being held and, after a “verbal altercation that intensified,” he shot at the crowd, the authorities detailed.

“Upon arrival, deputies heard multiple gunshots coming from the rear of the establishment, which caused the crowd to disperse,” the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said in its statement.
The teenager was immobilized with the help of this establishment’s security personnel who, as he later thanked, checked that all its workers were “safe.”
“The result was that a total of ten victims suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, mainly to the lower extremities,” authorities stated.
Regarding the player Tank Dell, the Houston Texas issued a brief statement: “He suffered a minor injury, but has been released from the hospital and is in good spirits (…) we ask that you please respect his privacy in this moment”. Cabana Live is an event venue and restaurant located in Sanford, about 18 miles north of Orlando
