Investigators responded to 2372 Lake Weston Drive around 10:00 pm on Tuesday night where they found two men shot outside an apartment.   Eye witnesses told deputies that they heard a loud argument prior to hearing gun shots. The shooter fled the scene before deputies arrived and a k-9 track abruptly ended near the shooting scene.

Witnesses also told detectives that the suspect frequented the area where the shooting took place and regularly sold movies in the parking lot of a business near shooting scene.

Jackson was booked into the Orange County Jail around 4:00 am on Wednesday morning.  He has been charged with attempted felony murder with a firearm and with aggravated battery with great bodily harm using a firearm.  Bond  has been set at $10,000.
