Steve Valdez-Rivera , 20 , is jailed in Marion County on preliminary aggravated battery, battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness charges in the shooting.

A 16-year-old was shot in the left ankle, an injury that could take a year of recovery, his parents told police.

Police say surveillance footage showed the man carrying the bag pull out a handgun and fire, striking two bystanders in the lobby as the intended targets ducked.
