BRANDON, FL — Police have made one arrest in a Brandon gas station shooting that occurred on Sunday, but they are still searching for the two other suspects, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office posted on their Facebook.

A man sat inside his vehicle at the Mobil gas station in Brandon on Sunday night, and at 10:30 p.m., three suspects walked over to his car, said authorities.

Eighteen-year-old Jackson Wilkins pointed a gun inside the victim's vehicle and held him at gunpoint, investigators said.
