Pensacola police arrested a suspect late Wednesday in connection to a shooting that hospitalized a man earlier that day.
It was the third shooting to occur within a 14-day period at the Pensacola Village Apartments located on East Fairfield Drive.
Jerome Young, 29, of Pensacola, was charged with firing a weapon in public or residential property, aggregated battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and criminal mischief.

Young was booked into the Escambia County Jail on Wednesday with a $52,000 bond, and county records indicated that he remained in custody as of Thursday morning.
According to his arrest report, Young interjected himself into a verbal argument between two women and one of the women’s boyfriends, who Young ended up shooting outside of the “O” building at the Pensacola Village Apartments.
Young told the other man, “Boy, you’ll die here,” before displaying a gun, the report stated. The other man replied, “I’m not about to run from no gun.”
Young shot the other man in his pelvic area with a handgun, the report stated. The shooting victim was later transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It was the third shooting to occur at the Pensacola Village Apartments within two weeks.
On July 15, a 20-year-old man was shot at the apartment complex around 10:30 p.m., suffering a single non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital, and no arrest has been made, Wood said.
Two days later, on July 17, a Pensacola man was accused of firing a gun at two other men as they were attempting to leave the apartment complex.
Nija Simpson, 31, was arrested later that day and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and two counts of aggravated assault.
Investigators learned that Simpson had been engaged in a verbal argument with the two other men, and when they tried to leave the Pensacola Village Apartments in their car, Simpson opened fire, Wood said. No one was injured.
