MIAMI (WSVN) – A 19-year-old was arrested after authorities say he accidentally shot a man in the leg while handling a concealed firearm inside a moving vehicle in Miami earlier this month.<\/p>\n
According to a Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office arrest affidavit, the incident happened April 12 as the victim and several others were leaving a nightclub. <\/p>\n
Investigators say the suspect, identified as Raymond Arturo Bolanos Jr., retrieved a handgun from another vehicle, concealed it in his pocket and got into the victim\u2019s car without others knowing he was armed.<\/p>\n
While the victim was driving, the suspect removed the firearm and began handling it when it discharged, striking the victim in the right leg, authorities said. <\/p>\n
The group drove the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital\u2019s Ryder Trauma Center, where he received treatment.<\/p>\n
Detectives said statements from the victim and witnesses were consistent, and Bolanos later admitted to handling the firearm before it went off.<\/p>\n
A search warrant executed on the vehicle led to the recovery of a firearm matching the description provided during the investigation, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Bolanos was taken into custody April 28 at Miami Senior High School and transported to a sheriff\u2019s office station. <\/p>\n
Authorities said he was 19 at the time of the incident, placing him in violation of Florida\u2019s concealed weapons law.<\/p>\n
