OLDSMAR, Fla. – Authorities in Pinellas County have arrested a 20-year-old man on attempted first-degree murder charges following a shooting incident at a home in Oldsmar. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office reported that the incident took place in the early hours of Monday at a residence on Azalea Court.

According to deputies, the suspect, identified as Kemani Wright, was seen firing a gun both outside and inside the home. In addition to the shooting, Wright also allegedly stole the homeowner’s 2004 Lexus and fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
