Can't link the article from GG, but Jy'Vonte McLendon charged with felony shooting into an occupied vehicle in Florida, facing up to 15 years in prison. 😒
Possibly down to 18 commits now

Well, Columbia doesn't need another shooter. Good riddance.
Somebody will pick him up after pretrial. Probably Tennessee.
Problem averted maybe? Gotta move on now regardless. Maybe the staff can use the opportunity to get a commitment from a better prospect?
This appears to be a very unfortunate incident that all details are not clear on. From the articles coming out of Florida, JM was with his mother in her vehicle and they were involved in an apparent road rage incident where the driver of the other vehicle appeared to be making an attempt to use her vehicle to hit JM mother. He retrieved his mother's firearm from her purse and fired a shot at the driver's windshield to try and make her leave the scene. Very sad story but if true I'd protect my mother at all costs as well for damn sure!
I was going to make a joke and say "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation." Then I saw your post and thought....dang, maybe there was. He may have not made the right choice, but if true what a tough spot to be in.
LSU, Ole Miss or Miss St. The same teams that scour JuCos like the one on Last Chance U.
Will the case go to trial, or will it be heard on FGF? It does not sound good, but there may be more to the story than we know.
He was charged. The other driver was not. The altercation was over but he and some others in the car went back to the woman. According to The State the other driver was attempting to get away from the guy when he shot into her car windshield right in front of her. A gun just materialized in his hand at the exact moment his mother needed protecting. That doesn't pass the smell test. I'll bet he already had the gun when he went back to the other woman. Apparently, the police thought the same since he was charged and she wasn't.

Never a good look. Hate to see our name in the news like this.
I'm not sure it is the wrong choice if this is legit. Ramming your car into another is attempted murder, wouldn't that make it lawful self defense? Nothing else you can do but try to evade it hope you survive.
Are you blaming him for being attacked? If what was said is true, he's a victim if attempted murder. I was ready to go making assumptions but after that explanation, I'm gonna see what comes out before I judge him prematurely any more.
This is a quote from the article I couldn't link:
Shooting into an occupied vehicle is classified as a second-degree felony, according to Florida statute 790.19. If guilty, a second-degree felony in Florida is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000, according to Goldman Wetzel.
Granted, I haven't read any follow-up articles, so the fact on the ground could've been updated since then.
A charge proves nothing, though an absence of a charge proves a lot. I hope you don't need to fight off a public assumption of guilt one day.
So he shot through the dash and it came out the speedometer? He wasn't shooting to scare anybody. He was shooting to kill. Probably going away for a long time.
Looks like a parking lot squabble that went bad. The fact that he and his mother left and then came back won't look good for him. Then he left again to go get the gun and came back. Just not smart.
He admits shooting into a car at a woman. I highly doubt I'll ever need to defend myself for such actions.
