White Springs man charged with attempted murder



Shenner Mack Webb Jr., age 25, of 15390 SE CR 25A in White Springs, was charged with attempted felony murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and two counts of aggravated assault last Sunday after firing a 12-gauge pump shotgun at one car and threatening the occupants of another, according to the White Springs Police Department (WSPD).

Earlier in the day Webb had a confrontation with Bryan Johnson of 14931 CR 25A in White Springs, and Keisha Hill, of the same address, at a residence in Pine Manor Trailer Park in White Springs, according to a WSPD report. Hill is the estranged girlfriend of Webb and has a restraining order against him, the report said.

According to the White Springs Police Department arrest report, Johnson and Hill were traveling along Mill St. in White Springs at approximately 4 a.m. when they saw Webb walking with a shotgun in his hand near Tom's Place. Due to the earlier confrontation, Johnson stopped his car and his sister, Candice Shanelle Cooks, also of the same address, went around him in her car.

According to the report, Cooks stated that Webb opened the driver's door and tried to put the barrel of the shotgun inside the car while she was driving. She was able to close the door before he fired two shots at her car with a 12-gauge pump shotgun, the report said. The shotgun blast punctured the rear of the car and the rear window in almost 20 places, according to the report.

Immediately afterwards, Webb aimed the shotgun at Johnson and Hill, the report said. Johnson escaped by reversing his car and leaving the area at a high rate of speed. The report states that both Johnson and Hill said they feared for their lives when the shotgun was pointed at them.

The report stated that Webb waived his rights and stated orally and in writing that he had fired at Cooks' car using a 12-gauge pump shotgun, according to the report. He also stated he had been drinking since Friday, had smoked approximately five joints and had taken two or more lines of cocaine, according to the report. He said he did not know why he fired at the car, but he was mad and upset about his relationship with Hill. He also stated he had dropped the shotgun near the scene when he fled and that he did not know where it was, the report said.

Webb was arrested later Sunday and bond was set at $100,000. He had previously been arrested on Dec. 7 for battery and was subsequently released on $1,000 bond.
