The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Robert Anthony Morgan, was apprehended following the alleged attack. The incident took place in Wildwood, Florida, and is being investigated by local law enforcement. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has released information regarding the ongoing case.

Robert Anthony Morgan, 40, was arrested and charged with attempted felony murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and discharging a firearm in public or on residential property.

Police said Morgan was seen crawling under a partially open garage door before jumping into a backyard pool. Officers pulled him from the water and took him into custody.

The victim’s mother told investigators there was a history of domestic violence between Morgan and the victim. She said she saw him drag the woman back onto the property after the shooting, according to WKMG.
