The witnesses told detectives the shooting was unprovoked, and they’re still trying to determine a motive, the Tampa Bay Times reported .

Silver was arrested Monday morning and booked into jail later that night, jail records show. He is charged with second-degree murder and attempted first-degree premeditated murder.

The sheriff’s office has not released the names of the victim, citing the agency’s interpretation of Marsy’s Law, which is a state constitutional amendment meant to protect crime victims.
