DeLAND, Fla. – DeLand officers and Volusia County deputies are searching for a suspect in a shooting early Saturday that took place outside the same bar where a man was shot and killed earlier this month, according to the police department.

Calvin Roosevelt Gilbert, 55, is accused of shooting at another man outside McCabe’s Bar along North Amelia Avenue during a dispute over a drink, the DeLand Police Department said in a news release.

Gilbert — who’s currently at large and believed to be driving a tan 1999 Nissan Quest — had never met the victim before that night, police said.

After buying the victim a $5 drink, Gilbert allegedly confronted him outside of the bar early Saturday and demanded a reimbursement, what the release states led to an argument which resulted in Gilbert drawing a handgun and shooting at the victim from about three feet away.

The victim ducked out of the way and was not struck by the bullet, the release states, adding the bullet wound up hitting an exterior cooler and penetrating the exterior wall of the building, which was still occupied at the time.

Officers and deputies responded around 2:05 a.m., locating a single 9mm shell casing and observing physical damage to the scene consistent with a shooting, according to the release. Gilbert had run away before entering the van and leaving the scene northbound on North Amelia Avenue, police said.

The victim and bar staff helped identify Gilbert with a photo lineup, the release states. News 6 is working to learn more.

Anyone with information about Gilbert’s whereabouts is urged to not approach him and to instead contact the DeLand Police Department or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.

It was at McCabe’s bar where 24-year-old Avantae Williams is accused of fatally shooting 32-year-old Keshod Harris on May 3.

News 6 Reporter Jarell Baker interviewed Courtney Rickman, a bartender at McCabe’s who was shot in both hands during the incident and told us she was trying to break up a fight when it happened.

“It was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever been through. It happened so fast that I didn’t really have time to get scared when it happened, but, it it’s it keeps coming back. It replays in your mind over and over,” Rickman said.

Williams, a former high school football star, was arrested on May 5 to face charges including second-degree murder with a firearm in Harris’ death.
