Posted: 7:28 am EDT July 2, 2009Updated: 8:00 am EDT July 2, 2009

A man accused of shooting another man in the middle of a crowded Kissimmee flea market is out of jail. Eyewitness News checked and found out that Hezekiah Edwards bonded out of the Osceola County jail around 4:00am Thursday.

Eyewitnesses say Edwards, who is a vendor at the Main Gate Flea Market, started shooting because he was upset that a child had pointed a laser gun at him last week.

The victim, David Perez, told us he had no idea Edwards was upset.

"I feel bad for him now, you know? But he's got to pay the consequences. He shot me, just like that, for no reason at all," said Perez.

Perez was shot twice and says now he is worried about retaliation.

Edwards is charged with aggravated battery.
