Sanford continued to search Friday for a man they say shot two people Thursday night, including a 10-year-old boy. 

The shooting happened at West 13th Place and Oleander, right in front of Debbie Stewart’s home.

“I heard about three or four shots, and I saw everybody running,” said Stewart.

Police say 21 year old Daquan Butts, also known as “Bobo,” was fighting with another man when that fighting turned into a gunfight, investigators say Butts started shooting. 

One of the bullets hit the man police say Butts was fighting with; another hit 10-year-old Jeremiah Taylor in his stomach as he was riding his bike through the neighborhood.

Several witnesses called 911, horrified by what they were seeing.

“Oh my God, this little boy is 10,” one caller said to dispatchers.

Jeremiah Taylor’s cousin tells News 13 he held the boys hand until help could arrive.

“He’s laying right here, I’ve got pressure on the wound,” said the cousin to dispatchers as he tried to comfort Taylor.  

Taylor was eventually taken to the hospital, where at last check he was stable in intensive care.

"I hope he makes it, and that other man too, because I can feel what a mother must feel. It’s very sad,” said Stewart.

Jeremiah Taylor just started the fourth grade at Idyllwilde Elementary in Sanford, where counselors were on hand Friday for any students who needed to talk about what happened to their classmate.

News 13 checked into Daquan Butts’ criminal history, which is extensive. The 21 year old has multiple convictions for aggravated assault, grand theft and resisting law enforcement from a series of different incidents.

Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith said investigators were able to get in contact with Butts' family Friday, including his mother, but he says it’s ultimately up to Butts to contact police.

Police say Daquan Butts should be considered armed and dangerous, but police are urging anyone who might know where he is to call police. You can call Crimeline anonymously at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).

"Daquan Butts demonstrated a reckless disregard for human life when he pulled out a firearm and randomly shot, injuring an innocent child," said Sanford police Chief Cecil Smith. "The community should be outraged by such careless disregard for life."
