Saturday, September 12, 2020 the Levy County Sheriff’s Office 911 Center received multiple reports of gunfire in the area of 21431 NE 35th Street, Mack Apartments, just east of the town of Williston. Deputies dispatched to the scene met with a 28 year old male near this address. This victim told deputies he went to the Mack Apartments to visit with a family member when several unknown and unidentifiable individuals came out of a nearby wooded area and began shooting at him. Deputies photographed multiple bullet holes in the exterior and interior of the victim’s vehicle.
Deputies located and recovered three different calibers of shell casings, which appeared to have been recently fired from handguns in the area where the driver said he was parked. No witnesses were identified who could identify the gunmen but multiple residents reported hearing the gunfire.
This was the second call over this weekend of gunfire in this general area of eastern Levy County. Deputies responded to multiple calls of gunfire on Friday night within a mile of this location.
