All four are charged with armed robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Madison is currently undergoing medical evaluation and will be formally booked once cleared by medical personnel.
The victim, who sustained gunshot injuries during the incident, is expected to make a full recovery.
Authorities have also identified two additional suspects still at large:
-
Jaquan A.K. McStay (DOB 12/12/2006)
-
Izaiah M. Harris (DOB 10/28/2007)
A warrant has been issued for McStay for armed robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery with a firearm, while Harris is the subject of a juvenile pickup order on the same charges. Both are considered armed and dangerous.
“If you have any information on the whereabouts of McStay or Harris, please contact the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office at 941-639-2101 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).”
In a statement, Sheriff Bill Prummell addressed the incident and the young ages of those involved:
“The suspects involved ranged from 16 to 21 and are no strangers to the Sheriff’s Office at this young age. We try to help those in need get on the right track as best we can, but when it comes to crimes such as this, there are no exceptions. They continue to disobey the laws, and now it has escalated to this. Perhaps now we can get them sent away for a while.”
Sheriff Prummell also issued a warning to the two suspects still at large:
“It would be in your best interest to turn yourselves in because we are coming and we will find you!”
He went on to commend the swift and coordinated efforts of his deputies and investigative teams:
“I want to commend my uniformed personnel for their quick response and organization which led to the apprehension of the four. I would also like to commend my investigators, forensics unit, and analysts who worked tirelessly following leads and collecting evidence. They are top notch and I couldn’t be more proud.”
