Teen Charged in FAMU Shooting

Tallahassee police have arrested a 15-year-old boy in Saturday night's shooting that injured 12 people, six of them minors, near Florida A&M University's football stadium during homecoming weekend.

Anthony Rivers III, arrested Sunday, faces 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder plus a weapons charge, State Attorney Jack Campbell said Monday. Police believe a fight between acquaintances sparked the shooting and that none of the victims was an intended target.

Gunfire erupted around 8 p.m. near Perry and Manatee streets, hitting 11 people, while another person hurt an ankle running away. Victims include an 11-year-old and a FAMU student. Six remained hospitalized Sunday, one critically.

Police Chief Lawrence Revell called the arrest "a significant step forward" and said more arrests are possible. FAMU coach Quinn Gray, whose Rattlers lost 31-28 to Arkansas-Pine Bluff earlier that day, wrote in a Facebook post that "no child should ever be caught in gunfire."

Four Accused of Stealing a Senior's Home

Four people face 15 charges after authorities say they swindled a 71-year-old Hollywood man with dementia out of his home, then left him at a Miami Gardens rooming house.

Investigators say Thomas Hegarty signed over his home of 25 years to a company run by two 25-year-old investors, using papers that a notary falsely certified. The house, worth about $300,000, sold for $191,000.

Real estate agent Monica Elizabeth Castelli, 56, is accused of removing Hegarty so the group could take his belongings, including three vehicles. Authorities say Castelli left Hegarty at a Miami Gardens rooming house, then picked him up after he became distraught and dropped him off at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, where staff notified his sister-in-law.

Castelli faces kidnapping and elder exploitation charges, while investors Brandon Lee Miguel and Jordy Luis Perez face fraud and grand theft counts. Broward Property Appraiser Marty Kiar says the company still controls the home, and the family has hired a lawyer to get it back.

King Tide Flooding Rolls Into Tuesday

Gusts up to 40 mph will keep pushing king tides onto South Florida streets today, under a wind advisory lasting through this evening for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

Seawater swamped Collins Avenue in Miami Beach on Monday and spilled over an orange barrier onto the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Businesses there stacked sandbags and boarded up windows, and one server said living with it mostly means learning where to park.

It's the second nor'easter in two weeks along Florida's East Coast, with rough surf and flooding expected through most of the week. Waves could reach 11 feet, and small boats should stay in port.

Farther north, Brevard County closed every beach access point on Sunday, and waves in Volusia County reached 6 to 10 feet. Volusia is under a coastal flood warning and several other alerts, some of which are expected to last for days.
