PANAMA CITY -- Deputies with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man who was present Monday when a 19-year-old woman was shot in the abdomen in a Panama City home.
Renaldo Williams, 19, of Panama City, was arrested on suspicion of tampering with evidence for allegedly taking the gun and the shell casing involved in the shooting of Jesi Mack.
Blake Youngblood, 19, was charged after the shooting with evidence tampering, unlawful exhibition of a firearm and evidence tampering. He eventually admitted to shooting Mack accidentally because he believed his gun was not loaded.
Mack told investigators she didn’t want to press charges, BCSO said.
