PORT ORANGE, Fla. – A Florida man has turned himself in after Port Orange police announced he was wanted, accused of selling the firearm used in the shooting of a 13-year-old boy last month.
Skylar Snyder, 18, turned himself in Thursday morning at the Volusia County Branch Jail, the Port Orange Police Department said on social media.

In addition, four separate firearms were recovered from other minors unrelated to the shooting, investigators added. Three of those guns had been reported stolen.
As a result, a warrant was issued for Snyder’s arrest on charges of dealing in stolen property and two counts of selling a firearm to a minor.
