Here’s an update from @sheriffchitwood on the arrest of a 17-year-old defendant in the fatal shooting of another 17-year-old on Wednesday in Pierson. Tania Lopez Morales, 17 (DOB 12/20/2006), of Pierson, is charged with 1 count of first-degree felony murder and 2 counts of attempted felony murder in the shooting that killed Odie Carbajal of Crescent City and left another victim injured. Detectives determined Morales contacted Carbajal on Instagram and arranged to meet him in Pierson to purchase a quarter pound of marijuana. When Carbajal at the meeting location, they were met by three subjects. Morales and another subject approached Carbajal at the driver’s side door, each pointing a firearm with the intent to rob him. During the robbery attempt, the suspects fired their weapons, striking Carbajal as well as a passenger. A third passenger was not hit.
