“Save my cousin. That’s my blood man. My first blood," began witness James Annestor.
Annestor said he helped wrestle a gun away, as three men were shot at a tax refund office in Brevard County Wednesday afternoon.
Homicide agents and crime scene investigators with Brevard County Sheriff's Office are investigating.
It happened around 1:45 p.m. at TTC Tax Refund Business located at 1383 Clearlake Road in Cocoa.
“I got very emotional because he don’t bother anyone. He’s very laid back," added Tameshia Pratt, who knows one of the men who were wounded.
Deputies are still trying to figure what lead up to the shooting. However, they are not searching for any suspects. So they’re hopeful someone who they know was involved in the shooting will tell them what happened.
“I heard him call me, say, 'James help,' so I ran in there and helped him," Annestor shared.
Annestor said the whole scene was chaotic.
“Get the gun out his hand," Annestor recalled.
"My cousin was holding the gun like this and I had to keep the muzzle away from me, my cousin and the guy so," Annestor said, as he acted out what happened.
Deputies said Brevard County Fire Rescue transported two of the victims to local hospitals and the third was treated at the scene.
Investigators said one of them is in critical condition and the two men had non-life-threatening injuries. The names of the victims have not been released.
“You’re going to be pretty strong, when you see there’s a gun going off right by your head," Annestor explained.
The Sheriff’s Office said the shooting incident appears to be isolated. Investigators said everyone involved in the shooting has been identified. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS (8477).
