The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that took place early Sunday morning in the parking lot of a business on Okaloosa Island.

Deputies responded around 1:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting at 110 Amberjack Drive, where Asiago’s Skillet is located.

  • An initial investigation found that two men had gotten into an argument that escalated when one of them pulled out a handgun and shot the other multiple times before fleeing the scene.

The victim, a 43-year-old man visiting from out of state, was conscious and alert when deputies arrived. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries and is expected to recover.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS. Tips can also be submitted online at emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com or through the P3 Tips mobile app.
