TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Four suspects arrested in connection with the shooting of Florida State linebacker Ethan Pritchard made their first appearance in court Thursday and were ordered held without bond, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Caron Miller, 18, of Havana; Jayden Bodison, 22, of Woodville; and a 16-year-old from Havana have been charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle. Germany Atkins, 23, of Havana was arrested on a violation of probation charge.
The 16-year-old was remanded to Department of Juvenile Justice custody on a no-release hold charge.
Pritchard, a 6-foot-2, 224-pound freshman who graduated from Sanford Seminole High School, was ambushed and shot in the back of the head while inside a vehicle on Aug. 31. He was dropping off his aunt and a child at an apartment complex in Havana at the time. An FDLE spokesman said he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
Investigators said they believe the shooting was a case of mistaken identity, Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young said at a news conference announcing the suspects’ arrest Wednesday.
Pritchard remains critical but stable at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
