SARASOTA, Fla. - Nyquan Priester, 20, was charged with second-degree murder on Thursday in connection with the shooting death of Dylan Jenkins, 18, a Riverview High School graduate who was home from college for Christmas.
Kalvion Turner, 20, turned himself in to authorities last week after being named a suspect in Jenkins's death.
The shooting happened shortly before 11 p.m. on December 29 at Ackerman Park located at 400 Apex Road in Sarasota.
Witnesses told deputies that about 40 to 50 people were gathered in the park when several shots were fired from the back seat of a vehicle in the parking lot. Jenkins, a standout both on and off the football field, was killed.
