OCALA, Fla. - The Ocala Police Department has announced a $20,000 reward for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of a man accused of shooting and killing another man inside Ocala Paddock Mall.
The reward was originally set at $5,000 before being doubled earlier last week. Now, police are offering anyone who provides information regarding the whereabouts of the alleged shooter $15,000.
Officials are looking for suspect, Albert Shell Jr., who is wanted on charges on premeditated first-degree murder and attempted premeditated first-degree murder.
Shell is accused of firing shots inside the mall Saturday around 3:40 p.m.
A man – later identified as 40-year-old David Nathaniel Barron – was found dead inside the mall. A woman was found with a gunshot wound to her leg and taken to the hospital with what police described as a non-life-threatening injury.
Others were injured during the chaos after the shooting erupted, police said.
