Man surrenders to authorities in connection to shooting at Sarasota's Ackerman Park
A 20-year-old man has voluntarily turned himself in to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office following a fatal shooting at Ackerman Park on Dec. 29.
Just before 11:00 p.m., deputies responded to reports of gunshots at the park. According to witnesses, a crowd of roughly 50 people was gathered in the park when several guns shots were fired from the backseat of a vehicle in the parking lot.
One of the bullets hit a bystander in the back. People drove him away from the scene, meeting paramedics in another parking lot nearby where he was pronounced dead.
