ORLANDO, Fla. — Accused shooter Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, 17, is being held on two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and six counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, Orlando police said Friday.

In a social media video posted by OPD, Edgar was seen wearing handcuffs as officers escorted him from police headquarters to a waiting patrol car.

Authorities did not immediately confirm whether Edgar was being held at the Orange Regional Juvenile Detention Center because he is 17 years old.

Police said Edgar opened fire near two different intersections in downtown Orlando early Friday morning, killing two people and wounding six.

Currently, few details are known about Edgar's life.

Edgar was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in December on a charge of grand larceny of a motor vehicle, records show. Officers said they observed Edgar driving a car that had previously been reported stolen from an apartment complex.

According to a report, Edgar was taken to the Orange County Juvenile Assessment Center after his arrest. The outcome of the criminal case is unknown because juvenile court records are confidential under Florida law.

Edgar attended elementary and middle school at Orange County Public Schools but did not attend high school, school officials confirmed.
