Teen Shot Before Naples Fourth of July Event Suspect Appears in Court

The 18-year-old accused of killing a youngster while Naples residents celebrated the Fourth of July appeared before a judge on Friday.

The 18-year-old’s grandmother requested custody of him in court and promised to have him wear an ankle bracelet.

The judge turned down the request.

Goodwin will be detained in custody on a $100,000 cash bail after being charged with highly aggravated assault and reckless behavior.

The tweet below confirms the news:

Around 7 o’clock in the evening, a gun was discharged as crowds were assembling for Naples’ annual Fourth of July fireworks display.

Authorities claim that Goodwin shot a 16-year-old who has not been named, but who was later brought to a hospital with injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening.

Witnesses said that the altercation began as a quarrel behind Rick’s Cafe and spilled out onto the street close to the junction of Routes 302 and 114.

The 16-year-old was at Maine Medical Center and was stable at the time of last reporting.

On Thursday, Goodwin was taken into custody at the Portland Expo building.
