Sheriff Charles Pearson said the location was considered a fairly high crime area, located near a strip club and an adult toy store.

"We do take a lot of calls there, a lot of undesirable coming out of the gentleman's club and there's a bar just south of it," he said.

The sheriff told News On 6 in April that he was confident an arrest would be made. The Sheriff's Office arrested the 24-year-old Eleno Maldonado Jr. on May 28, 2015.
