Multiple witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a dark Honda passenger car speed away from the scene, deputies said.
Detectives said they determined Williams was driving the car when Bamfield pointed a gun at him from the front passenger’s seat and began shooting as Williams tried to escape.
Deputies believe the shooting was over drugs.
Volusia County Sheriff’s Office detectives and members of U.S. Marshals Task Force in Central Florida and in South Carolina worked together to find Bamfield.
Bamfield was taken to the Darlington County Jail in Darlington, S.C, pending extradition to Volusia County to face the charges.
It's unclear why Bamfield was in South Carolina.
