ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — A fight between two roommates in Altamonte Springs Saturday morning ended with one shot in the shoulder with pellets and the other behind bars, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said.
The shooting occurred around 10:00 a.m. along Alder Court, deputies said.
Deputies arrested Dennis Diaz, 29 of Altamonte Springs, on an attempted first-degree premeditated murder charge after they say he shot his roommate, 32-year-old Isiah Dennis.
Dennis was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, deputies said.
Diaz initially told deputies the two had been in an argument and he was holding a shotgun loaded with pellets that accidentally went off.
Investigators later determined the two had been involved in an ongoing dispute over household expenses.
Dennis did not wish to move forward with prosecution, deputies said.
Diaz was taken to the Seminole County Jail where he is being held without bond.
