A 15-year-old was arrested in Florida accused of fatally shooting his classmate after an argument that arose from a shove in the hallway of his school, authorities reported.

Orange County Sheriff John Mina explained at a press conference that the incident occurred on October 9 at Oak Ridge High School, in the town of Sky Lake.

The suspect, identified as Jacori Redding, and the victim, 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy, bumped into each other in the hallway and argued. According to the police report, they agreed to fight in a nearby park after school.

The Attack and Arrest

According to the investigation, Redding shot Dalmacy twice in the park before fleeing the scene. Shortly after, he was arrested inside the school cafeteria, where officers found the gun in his backpack. He was initially charged as a juvenile with involuntary manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a weapon on school property, but the District Attorney's office decided to prosecute him as an adult, according to local news outlet WESH. “The fact that something as insignificant as bumping into someone in a hallway resulted in a death is outrageous,” Sheriff Mina stated. A History of Prior Violence: Authorities revealed that Redding had been disciplined at least 17 times for fighting at school and was already facing charges for car theft and resisting arrest without violence. Furthermore, investigators found text messages in which the teenager stated that he planned to stage a fight and then shoot someone, which strengthened the intentional homicide charge. Family and friends of Dalmacy described him as a young man “full of light, always smiling.” and loved by all.”

His mother wrote in a GoFundMe campaign: “My life changed forever when my baby was taken from me for something so senseless. Our family is devastated.”

Redding is due to appear in court next Wednesday,where a judge will decide whether he will remain in pretrial detention until trial. If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison.
