Police said the victims were innocent bystanders.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
A judge has ordered the arrest of a material witness who hasn't shown up to court to testify. Prosecutors said the man ignored subpoenas and voicemails.

"Obviously the state's expending a lot of effort in getting this witness. He has to be important to the state's case," WFTV legal expert Bill Sheaffer said.

Detectives believe the deadly shooting stemmed from a past fight at a downtown nightclub.
