Lake County deputies arrested a 42-year-old Eustis man accused of shooting his neighbor as the victim retrieved his puppy from the suspect’s yard, records show.
A Longwood man was arrested Friday afternoon on a charge of attempted second-degree murder after stabbing another man during an argument in the area of Orange Avenue and U.S. Highway 17-92, according to the arrest report.
Gwendolyn Granade called the sheriff s office on Sunday.
“I saw a man holding a rifle or a shotgun, Granade told Daily Commercial this week. He had a look on his face. I can’t describe it.”
She said she saw Sayre holding the weapon up in the air, then watched him climb a fence onto an adjoining wooded property. She then heard him shout: “Help.”
Granade said she heard a deputy shout, “Show me your hands,” and then heard a single shot.
From the video, it appears Sayre was shot in his right side. He was airlifted to the trauma center at Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford.
The report also reveals the name of the deputy who shot Daniel P. Sayre Deputy Brian Schneider.
But it raises more questions, too.
Several hours of body camera footage were released to the Daily Commercial and other news outlets Friday. The videos were slow to download and difficult to examine. In the end, however, no weapon could be seen in the hands of Sayre, though witnesses have said they saw him with a gun.
Meanwhile, the report brings into light what witnesses saw on May 2 in the rural area between Lake Mack and DeLand.
That day, LCSO responded to calls of an armed man spooking two horses in a pasture at 1:15 p.m. at 43340 Cooter Pond Road.
