A 16-year-old felon was recently arrested for attempted murder in Central Florida.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested and charged the 16-year-old convicted felon with several new felonies, including attempted first degree murder. The suspect, Jonathan Granados, of Lakeland, planned a fight with another teen via social media messages, then showed up to the fight with a gun and opened fire. Nobody was injured.
The investigation began when PCSO received a call from True Roofers, a company on North Frontage Road, after employees arrived at work and found spent shell casings on the ground. A review of their security footage showed a silver Chevrolet Malibu arriving and parking. An unidentified man approached the car on foot and shot at it multiple times until the car fled. The suspect then ran away.
Detectives were able to identify the driver of the Malibu as a 19-year-old from Lakeland…
