According to the sheriff’s office, the shooting stemmed from Instagram posts “that revived a longstanding feud.”
Deputies said the victim, a 17-year-old boy, was shot and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Lopez’s girlfriend, Tazaria Carter, was also arrested when deputies said they learned she was there when the shooting happened, drove her boyfriend away from the scene and later tried to conceal details during the investigation.
