Two arrested after double shooting in Orange Park

The Clay County Sheriff's Office says two teens have been arrested in connection to a shooting in the Park West subdivision last Thursday.

19-year-old Terry Dawson is charged with attempted murder and armed robbery, while 18-year-old Muhammad Benbenu has been arrested for armed robbery.

According to the arrest reports we've obtained, the two suspects first made contact with a woman in Duval County and later met up with her at the Orange Park Mall.

From there, they all rode in a truck together to the Park West subdivision, where things took a violent turn.

The reports state once they were inside the subdivision, Benbenu pointed a handgun at the woman and demanded her cell phone. She was then allegedly pulled to the ground and hit on the back of the head and struck on the side of her face.

Deputies say she then activated an emergency SOS on her phone, which turned on a loud, audible alarm.

She took off running and began banging on the front door of a home in the subdivision, while screaming for help.

When a man opened the door to help her, the report says one of the suspects fired 10 rounds, hitting both the woman and the homeowner in the legs.

Thankfully, both victims are expected to recover from their injuries.
