The incident was caught on camera. The video shows a large group fighting before a man wearing gray Nike shorts pulls a black gun from hit pocket and fires multiple shots into the crowd.

The victim, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, identified Teleau out of a photo array. She told investigators she was at the beach with friends when a fight broke out, and at first she tried to calm the situation. Just before the shooting she realized several of the people in the group had guns, which was when screamed for her friends to get away.
