18-year-old arrested for drive-by shooting Friday in Oakleaf


Posted

OAKLEAF – The Clay County Sheriff’s Office said Behrend Ludwig, 18, was arrested and charged with three counts of attempted murder Saturday for his role in Friday’s drive-by shooting near the soccer fields at Silver Bluff Boulevard and Plantation Oaks Boulevard.

CCSO said the shooting followed an “altercation” between Ludwig and the victim and that they knew each other. The juvenile sustained a gunshot wound to the arm, and he was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“This reckless and senseless act of violence endangered the lives of innocent children and families,” said Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook. “I also want to express my gratitude to the community members who provided crucial information – your willingness to come forward played a vital role in swiftly identifying and apprehending the individual responsible."

Lugwig's bond was set at $750,009. His next court appearance will be on April 1.

The sheriff’s office asked if anyone had information about the incident to call the non-emergency number (904) 264-6512 or leave a tip on the SaferWatch app.
