At 11:54 p.m., Young and a second person were walking southbound on Hancock Creek when they heard a gunshot come from vehicle as they were about 100 feet south of the entrance to the Pine Key Condominium Resort. Young fell to the ground screaming in pain, according to the police report.

EMS responded and Young was transported to the hospital, according to the report.
The second person could not provide a description of the vehicle tag or shooter.
