Last weekend, a shooting incident at a popular local venue in Houston, Texas, shook the community and made headlines across the country. Tank Dell, a rookie wide receiver for the Houston Texans, was involved in the chaos and sustained a minor injury. Despite the ordeal, he has already been discharged from the hospital and is in good spirits, according to a statement released by the Texans.
The incident took place outside Cabana Live, a well-known establishment in the area, late Saturday evening. The venue was hosting a private event at the time of the shooting. According to reports, a 16-year-old with no relation to the altercation drew a firearm and indiscriminately fired into the crowd, injuring a total of 10 people. Among the victims was Dell, who was grazed by a bullet and sustained a minor wound.
In response to the incident, both the Texans and Cabana Live have released statements to address the situation. The Texans have confirmed that they are aware of Dell’s involvement and are in contact with him and his family. They have asked for privacy and offered their thoughts and prayers to everyone involved. Cabana Live also issued a statement, assuring the public that their premises and staff were safe and that they will continue to operate as usual.

The shooting has left the community in shock and disbelief. Eyewitnesses described the chaotic scene, with people frantically trying to flee the area and others getting trampled in the chaos. One person, Neisha Foster, shared her experience of fear and terror, crawling on the ground and screaming for her sister.

According to Trending Politics,
The shooter, a 16-year-old, appeared in court on Monday, facing charges including attempted murder following the shooting at Cabana Live according to WESH2. Although the teen was not involved in the altercation, deputies reported that he drew a firearm and fired into a crowd, injuring 10 people, including the Texans wide receiver and Daytona Beach native Tank Dell.
The shooter, who cannot be named because he is a minor, appeared in court on Monday and is facing charges of attempted murder, among others. The judge found probable cause for the charges and ordered the teenager to remain in detention until his arraignment on May 13. According to reports, he was subdued by a security guard and two deputies who were present at the scene of the shooting.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating the incident and has urged anyone with information to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, the community is trying to come to terms with what happened and is offering support to those affected by the shooting.
