Winter Park police arrested a suspect in a shooting that injured a man and placed Rollins College in a “shelter in place” lockdown for nearly two hours Monday afternoon.

Police received a call about 3:30 p.m. after a man was shot in the 900 block of Orange Avenue.

Detectives identified the suspect as Jerad Christopher Vasquez, 19. Officers found Vasquez hiding under a trailer in the area. He exchanged gunfire with police and was arrested. No one was injured.

Attorney Ben Swift was inquiring about a membership at Anytime Fitness when he saw a man suffering from a gunshot wound in the groin area. The man told Swift he was shot after he saw someone stealing a bicycle.

The man was alert and talking, Swift said.

“He wasn’t seriously wounded, but he was seriously lucky,” Swift said.

Steven Ngo, who works at a nail salon near where the shooting occurred, said he heard shots.

“I heard people yelling and screaming,” he said. “I looked outside and saw all these police officers. I didn’t know what was going on. It’s scary.”

Officers were seen in the area armed with long rifles.

The shooting was less than a mile from Rollins College, prompting the school to go on lockdown.

“We have been instructed by Winter Park Police to shelter in place,” the alert said. “If you are on campus, take shelter in the nearest available room and lock the door (if possible). Remain in place until the police, or a campus administrator known to you, gives the ‘all clear’. Call 911 if you have information.”

The lockdown was lifted shortly before 5:30 p.m. In a statement, the college said the shooting suspect had not been caught, but “the area of focus is far enough from campus that … the lock down can be lifted.”

Savannah Rikeman, a Rollins sophomore, said she was at the gym when someone told her what was happening.

“I kept working out, but they said, ‘No, you have to go into a room,’” she said. “We went into a training room and waited until it was over.”

Records show Vasquez was arrested in April after he was caught stealing key fobs to cars parked at a hotel parking lot near International Drive. He pleaded no contest to a slew of burglary-related charges and was sentenced to 45 days in jail, with credit for time served, and two years of probation.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 407-423-8477.
