Authorities said BSO deputies were in the area responding to a noise disturbance call at the flea market when they found Anthony Dennis,36, of Oviedo, dead at the scene. Authorities said another person was transported to an area hospital by paramedics.
Not far from where the shooting occurred, a video shoot was taking place at the flea market with rappers Sexyy Red and Sukihana.
Witnesses said one of the victims was found by the flea market and the second was found at a nearby Chevron gas station.
“All we just hear is ‘bop, bop, bop, bop,’ one witness said. “Everybody started running, bumping into each other -- it was just crazy.”
Additional witnesses at the scene told investigators that “several subjects” approached the victims prior to the shooting and that the subjects fled the scene in a dark-colored vehicle.
Authorities said detectives attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a car matching the description of the subjects in the vehicle bailed out. The individuals were quickly detained and arrested on unrelated charges, according to BSO.
At this time, detectives do not believe the music video and shooting are related.
