On Monday, September 14, 2020 the Levy County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on NE 40th Street in a neighborhood east of Williston. The victim reported hearing gunfire around 5:00 a.m. but did not discover her home or car was damaged until after daylight. This is the same neighborhood where two shootings occurred this past weekend.
Detective and Crime Scene Units discovered the homeowner’s car was hit twice by bullets and a third bullet went through the master bedroom window. Detectives traced the trajectory of the bullet that passed through a bedroom window and it could have easily hit the occupants inside. Detectives also learned there was a toddler inside the home when the shooting began.
The Levy County Sheriff’s Office is working diligently to stem violence in this community east of Williston. However, cooperation from our community members and leaders is imperative. The LCSO is seeking any person who has knowledge of these shooting incidents. As always, LCSO encourages everyone to report all suspicious persons, vehicles or activity at 352-486-5111 or 911. Reports can also be made anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-877-349-8477.
