A suspect has turned himself in after a 39-year-old woman was killed and another was wounded in a drive-by shooting early Saturday after a fight broke out at a Lakeland nightclub.

LAKELAND — A 39-year-old woman was killed and another was wounded in a drive-by shooting early Saturday after a fight broke out at a Lakeland nightclub and ended at a gas station down the road, Lakeland police said.



About 6 p.m. Saturday, Derrick Deon Robinson, 24, of 937 N. Iowa Ave., who officials said is responsible for the shooting, turned himself into the Lakeland Police Department main station.



He faces charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, said Sgt. Gary Gross of the LPD. Gross said he would taken to the Polk County Jail.



About 2:16 a.m., Andrea Lorraine Dixon of Lakeland was found with a gunshot wound to her chest, lying on her back in the parking lot of the Chevron Gas Station, 1615 W. Memorial Blvd., Gross said.



She was taken to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center where she died at 3:05 a.m.



Around the same time, Johnetha Ragins, 34, of Lakeland, was dropped off at LRHMC with gunshot wounds to her elbow and torso, reports said.



She also was shot in the parking lot. Her condition is stable.



Before Dixon was killed and Ragins was injured, they were at Rumors Night Club, 935 East Memorial Blvd., for the "Sink or Swim" Friday event.



After the club closed, fights broke out between two opposing groups in the parking lot, and LPD showed up about 2 a.m. to clear the area.



A large crowd then traveled down the road to the gas station, where the drive-by shooting occurred.



"It's pretty common for them (clubgoers) to travel down the boulevard after the club closes and head to a few different places," Gross said.



Robinson and two other people from one of the opposing groups drove up to the gas station and Robinson fired multiple rounds into the crowd, Gross said.



Dixon and Ragins were among the crowd, socializing with friends, when they were struck.



Several witnesses identified Robinson as the shooter, Gross said.



A criminal history check revealed Robinson has four felony convictions, Gross said.



An employee at the gas station said Saturday that he was not working when the shooting occurred and did not know anything else about it.



Family and friends of Dixon took to social media Saturday to express their shock and grief over their loss.



Dixon was a mother, certified nursing assistant and friend to many, according to her Facebook page.



Her latest post was flooded with messages from family and friends sharing how much they would miss her.



Several people pleaded for the senseless violence and fighting to end.



"Andrea was such a sweet person," wrote Nicole Hall. "(She) would give you the shirt off her back. This has got to stop."
