A Largo man was arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday after he allegedly shot a 12-year-old boy.
Yancy Crowder, 31, was charged with aggravated child abuse with a deadly weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to a Sheriff’s Office report, deputies responded to the Verona Avenue home on Friday at about 6:34 p.m. after receiving a report that shots were fired. Upon arrival, they found the 12-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to his shoulder.
According to detectives, Crowder and another male were in front of the Verona Avenue home, when Calvert Hart, 31, of Clearwater, arrived at the location.
Crowder then entered his home, grabbed a firearm, and came back outside. That’s when he fired in Hart’s direction multiple times, the report stated.
As Hart fled the scene in his vehicle, Crowder continued to fire at him.
