An arrest has been made in a Thursday morning shooting in Jasper. Cordero Latron Brister, 18, of Gainesville was apprehended by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, according to authorities. Records show he has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and use of a firearm in the commission of a crime.

Mark Hawkins IV was shot in the chest at Buddy Parker Park in Jasper shortly after midnight, say police. He is in stable condition and his injuries, while no longer life-threatening are said to be serious.
