Deputies search for second Cabana Live gunman
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said it appears a second person also opened fire – and possibly in self-defense – during a private pool party at a Sanford event over the weekend, and detectives are hoping to talk with that person.
A lawsuit has been filed against Cabana Live, the spot where 10 people were shot during an unpermitted, crowded, late-night pool party in Sanford, Florida.
The lawsuit, filed Friday by someone who was injured in the shooting, alleges the owners of Cabana Live, the marina, the promoters of the event, and the security services were negligent in providing enough safety and security at the event. Among the allegations was that the defendants did not have enough security, held the event in an alleged high-crime area, and did not do enough to prevent an armed 16-year-old from attending the event.
It seeks damages in excess of $50,000 and a jury trial.
"Plaintiff experienced immediate bodily injury and resulting pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment, loss of earnings, loss of ability to earn money, aggravation of a previously existing condition, permanent disfigurement, and scarring," the lawsuit reads.
"The losses are either permanent or continuing, and the plaintiff will suffer the losses in the future."
The victim and attorney have scheduled an 8 p.m. press conference. FOX 35 has reached out to the defendants for comment on the filed lawsuit.

911 calls detail chaos after Cabana Live shooting
Authorities have disclosed the 911 calls reporting a shooting incident inside Sanford's "Cabana Live" venue over the weekend. The incident left ten people injured after a teenager allegedly discharged multiple rounds at a poolside gathering.
The shooting happened shortly after midnight on May 2 at Cabana Live. Private promoters rented out the Cabana Live venue to host a late-night pool party event.
Surveillance video released by authorities appears to show an argument, followed by a 16-year-old pulling out a gun and then firing several rounds, Sheriff Dennis Lemma told reporters at a press conference. A second person on the other side of the venue also appeared to fire, possibly in self-defense or response to the initial shooting, he said.
The 16-year-old was arrested and booked into juvenile detention on several charges, including attempted homicide. It's unclear if he will be charged as an adult.
