Earlier in the week, two adults and a second teenager from Palm Coast were arrested by Flagler County detectives in connection with the shooting, which they say occurred during a drug deal.

Mathew Leslie Smith, 18, was charged with attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Detectives named Smith as the person who fired several shots at Blumenfeld, striking him once in the right arm with the bullet passing through his arm and into his chest.

Matthew D. Morris, 20, and Cameron M. Parker, 15, were both charged with accessory to aggravated battery.

Blumenfeld was found following the shooting bleeding severely from his wounds at the front door of his mother's home on Llovera Place. Deputies arrived on scene and attended to Blumenfeld who was flown to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach where he underwent surgery. His condition remains critical but stable.

"Our deputies did a thorough job securing the scene and conducting their investigation into this incident," said Sheriff James Manfre.
