The incident occurred while Manley and a relative attempted to steal alcoholic beverages, leading to a confrontation in which Manley shot the clerk after a physical altercation.
Local authorities confirmed that the 14-year-old relative of Manley is not involved in the crime and actually tried to intervene during the robbery. The wounded clerk has been transported to UF Health Jacksonville, and a GoFundMe has been established to support his recovery. The police pursuit that followed the shooting ended in a crash after deputies deployed stop sticks on US-90.
