Police said they found Dimitrov on Friday, October 14, hiding in a garden inside Pride Park on Convention Center Drive. The suspect is being held without bail at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. The motive behind the argument that led to the fatal shooting has not been released at this time.

Separately, two men are facing attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting at each other’s vehicles on a busy Florida highway and injuring each other’s daughters, who were riding in their back seats. William Hale, of Douglasville, Georgia, and Frank Allison, of Callahan, Florida, were charged last week with attempted second-degree murder in the October 8 standoff on U.S. Highway 1 in Nassau county, which is located in the far northeast corner of Florida.

A witness told Nassau County Sheriff’s deputies that both vehicles were being driven so erratically and engaging in a «cat-and-mouse» chase that he called authorities concerned, according to an incident report.

Hale, who was driving a truck with family members as passengers, told officers that he and Allison were «checking the brakes» or braking in front of each other repeatedly during the confrontation. He said at some point he heard a “pow” at the back door, so he grabbed a gun he kept in his center console and fired out the driver’s window, according to the incident report. Hale’s daughter suffered an upper calf injury, while Allison’s daughter suffered a collapsed lung, according to the report.
