TAVARES, Florida—Less than 24 hours after a shooting following a high school basketball game, one person has been arrested, according to Tavares Police Public Information Officer Courtney Sullivan.
Cedric Williams, 20, of Eustis, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and is facing four charges, including possession of a firearm on school property, carrying a concealed firearm, discharging a firearm from an occupied vehicle and disrupting a school function, Sullivan told Inside Lake. He is being held at the Lake County Jail on $14,500 bond.
At least one shot was fired following a basketball game between longtime rivals Tavares High School and Eustis High School Tuesday night. A group of five to six males were in an altercation outside THS between 8:30 and 9 p.m. when a school resource deputy and school administrator broke the group up.
The group scattered and and at least one shot was fired from a vehicle as they drove near THS, Sullivan said Tuesday. No one was injured.
“The investigation is still ongoing,” Sullivan said. “Further arrests are possible.”
