VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Volusia County deputies on Friday arrested a man from Ormond Beach who’s accused of firing several shots at a vehicle full of people on the Fourth of July, according to the sheriff’s office.

Dylan Preis, 18, faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and criminal mischief at or above $1,000, as well as multiple counts of aggravated assault and firing into a vehicle, the sheriff’s office said on social media.

Preis had a recent falling out with the driver of the vehicle he’s accused of shooting at late Thursday in front of an address in the 1000 block of George Anderson Street, the post states.

After denying involvement, Preis allegedly confessed to using his grandmother’s 9mm handgun to shoot at the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said, adding the location of bullet holes left in the vehicle indicated he narrowly missed the occupants’ head and chest areas.
