HILLSBOROUGH CO., Fla. \u2014 The man accused of shooting and killing a local DJ in Ybor City is now facing new charges related to an incident that occurred last February. <\/p>\n

Police arrested and charged 31-year-old Joel Moreno Cobo with second-degree murder following the death of a local Tampa Bay DJ known as “DJ Shy Guy,”<\/a> who was shot and killed on Nov. 14 in Ybor City.<\/p>\n

Cobo is now facing aggravated battery charges after investigators said he allegedly attacked a man having a mental health episode in front of Bradley’s on 7th Avenue in Ybor City back in February.<\/p>\n

Court documents showed Cobo was driving on East Seventh Avenue at 3:30 a.m. on Feb. 20 when the victim, who investigators believe was experiencing a “mental health episode,” was walking on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors alleged the victim was picking up items and tossing them, and when the victim threw an item toward the street, Cobo got out of his car and confronted him.<\/p>\n

Court documents alleged Cobo struck the victim several times with a firearm, and the weapon eventually went off, shattering the front door of a business.<\/p>\n

Cobo told investigators he believed the victim was trying to strike him, per court documents.<\/p>\n

Cobo is already being held without bond because of the second-degree murder charge.<\/p>\n
