U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg will be announcing federal charges related to Lakeland’s mass shooting on North Iowa Avenue on Wednesday afternoon.
From an email from The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Handberg has called for a press conference for 1 p.m. Wednesday to provide an update on the Jan. 30 drive-by shooting that occurred on the 900 block of North Iowa Avenue, just north of the intersection with Plum Street.
Injured in the shooting were 11 people, with two in critical condition.
Police have said four men in a dark blue Nissan Altima with paper tags rolled down tinted windows and opened fire on both sides of the street.
Lakeland police located and secured the vehicle in west Lakeland within 24 hours of the shooting abandon.
The vehicle and evidence found inside was being processed by the department with help from the FBI, Homeland Security, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
One of the shooting suspects, Alex Greene, died last week after leading police officers on a vehicular pursuit through Winter Haven.
No other information about potential suspects or arrests has been released since last week.
The police department has declined to answer any questions citing an active and ongoing investigation.
