Alexander Gonzalez was arrested after being placed on Putnam County’s most wanted list following the Sunday morning shooting in Interlachen. Investigators said the bullet grazed the woman’s head, and she survived. Deputies said Gonzalez and his girlfriend live in Alabama and were visiting Florida for the holidays.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the woman was incoherent as a result of her injuries, and there were no witnesses to the shooting.
