Key West The Newspaper

Derek David, the man who pulled out a gun and fired multiple gunshots in the direction of Duval Street, striking three people, was convicted on nine felony charges on Thursday.

A jury found David, a Lower Keys resident, guilty of felony attempted manslaughter, attempted aggravated assault, improper exhibition of a firearm, discharging a firearm in public, using guns under the influence and carrying a concealed weapon in an establishment that serves alcohol.

David was partying in Key West on the night of March 21, 2016, when an altercation broke out between David, his wife and several men on Charles Street just off Duval.  David pulled a concealed .380 handgun from his pocket and began firing. Brendon Boudreau, Ryan Reid Ogden and Scott P. McBride were all hit.

Boudreau was hit in the right thigh as he ran down Charles to Duval. He ran inside a T-shirt shop and hid between clothing racks. The bullet entered just under his buttocks and exited near his groin area.

Scott McBride was vacationing from Daytona Beach with his girlfriend. He was also struck in the right thigh as he walked toward Irish Kevin’s.

Reid Ogden, was on a first date. They were strolling Duval in front of Charles Street when he was hit in the left forearm. The bullet also pierced his abdomen.

Defense attorneys argued David pulled out his concealed weapon and fired it in an attempt to protect his wife.

The jury deliberated for roughly three hours Thursday before finding David guilty of the nine felony counts.
