Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies are investigating a shooting that injured a man Aug. 22 at a vehicle audio business. Witnesses have given conflicting reports about whether the victim, a felon, brandished a firearm during an argument before he was shot — potentially making the case a stand-your-ground law shooting.
FCSO deputies responded to 15 Hargrove Lane Building 5E at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 22 to reports of a shooting.
A caller reported to dispatch that a male fired several rounds within a garage, injuring another male. All parties were still on scene.
The shooter, identified as 32-year-old Alan Presley Jr., was cooperative with deputies and the investigation.
The initial investigation revealed that the two parties involved had an argument prior to the shooting, but there were conflicting reports as to whether the 25-year-old victim had brandished a firearm during the argument.
“There were numerous witnesses to this shooting,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “At this point, detectives are still piecing together the sequence of events, but preliminary information indicates this may be a ‘stand your ground’ case with a convicted felon that illegally had a stolen firearm. More information will be released as the investigation continues.”
The victim sustained gunshot wounds but is expected to survive. He was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach by Flagler County’s Emergency FireFlight helicopter.
Two search warrants were served by detectives on the business and on the shooter’s vehicle.
The search of the business found four spent shell casings along with THC concentrate, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
A firearm was located in the front seat of the shooter’s vehicle.
A second firearm was recovered in the garage, which was determined to be stolen from Volusia County.
The shooter, Presley, has a prior arrest history for Domestic Battery.
The victim has previous arrests in Flagler County for Retail Theft, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Dealing in Stolen Property, Lewd and Lascivious Battery, and Violation of Probation.
He is a convicted felon and registered sex offender.
Based on the preliminary investigation, no arrests have been made at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
