Suspect in DeLand bar shooting arrested, police say
The suspect who fled the scene of a shooting at McCabe's bar was arrested on Sunday, according to the DeLand Police Department.
Police arrested Calvin Roosevelt Gilbert, 55, on Sunday on charges of attempted first-degree murder and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol, the agency said.
Around 2 a.m. on Saturday, police allege, Gilbert was at McCabe's bar and offered to buy a man — whom he didn't know prior — a drink but at closing he demanded the man pay him back, DeLand PD said.
When the man didn't pay, an argument ensued and Gilbert took out a black handgun and fired a single shot at the man standing three feet away, the police said. The man ducked and was not hit by the bullet.
Through their investigation, police discovered surveillance video that showed the incident and Gilbert — who was later identified via a photo lineup by the victim — fleeing the area on foot, then getting into a tan 1999 Nissan Quest van.
Gilbert was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail and held on no bond, the agency said.
A media conference was scheduled for Tuesday at DeLand Police Department headquarters.

Missing Mississippi woman found after held captive, abused, for 3 weeks, authorities say
Authorities said a man was arrested in Mississippi after law enforcement said they discovered a missing woman at his home, where she had been held captive and abused for nearly three weeks. The Smith County Sheriff's Office worked in a joint operation with the Rankin County Sheriff's Office to investigate the case, as announced via two Facebook posts by both agencies on Monday, June 9. The Smith County Sheriff's Office said deputies received a call on May 12 from a "concerned mother" who was unable to reach her adult daughter in several weeks. The office said the mother "feared for her daughter's safety" and contacted authorities to report her daughter missing. Smith County investigators coordinated with Rankin County investigators, believing the missing woman was located at a home on Holly Bush Road in Rankin County. Deputies responded to the scene and confirmed the location of the missing woman. "During an on-scene investigation at the residence, deputies observed physical injuries to the missing female and facilitated her transport to a local hospital for treatment. An interview conducted with the female victim revealed that she had been held against her will at the residence for three (3) weeks while enduring near daily abuse," both agencies wrote in their posts. According to authorities, an examination conducted at the hospital showed the woman sustained "multiple broken bones in her face," along with "multiple contusions and lacerations on her body."
