Lamont Postell Jr. – a 23-year-old who also goes by “Cornbread” – fled after he opened fire at Indigo Lakes Golf Club in Daytona Beach, where more than 200 Bethune-Cookman University students were attending a clubhouse soirée, Daytona Police Chief Mike Chitwood said at a Saturday press conference. The groups started fighting, and Johnson and Postell were fighting each other, according the report.
Police said Cunningham, who is hospitalized in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head, was a bystander. Officials with the school said Johnson was a sophomore who studied psychology with a 3.05 grade-point average.
The two other students who were shot, Justine Cunninghan and Tre Jamal Williams, 21, were transported to Halifax Medical Center. Postell is not a student at the university, but the police said he was previously known for getting involved in altercations on the campus.
Two students were fatally shot and another wounded in September at an apartment complex after an argument about rent money turned deadly.
Postell is wanted on first degree murder charges and two counts of attempted murder. The suspect in the shooting, student York Zed Bodden, hanged himself in a Miami jail call after he was captured.
An overnight shooting in Orlando left a 23-year-old former Glades Central High School football player dead and two others seriously injured.
