By JOE SEELIG

SEBRING — A man sought as a suspect in the attempted second-degree murder of a Sebring man surrendered Monday at the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, Sebring police Cmdr. Steve Carr said Tuesday.
A second man was arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact, he said.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested Concepcion Roamon Rockmore, 32, of 1005 Lemon St., Sebring, on charges of attempted second-degree murder while engaged in a certain felony offense and possession of a firearm or concealed weapon by a convicted felon.
Arrested on Sunday was Daz Dwan Hester, 35, of 234 Savannah Circle, Sebring, who was charged with tampering with physical evidence and acting as an accessory after the fact in a life felony.
Police reported two shots were fired at about 2:20 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11, when an argument erupted on Lemon Street.
One bullet struck a man, age 23, in the torso, said Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr. A second victim was hit in the foot by a piece of one bullet.
A warrant on a charge of second-degree attempted murder was issued for Rockmore.
There was some gambling going on just prior to the shooting, Carr said.
A witness told police as he approached the scene of where the gambling was taking place, Rockmore became angry because he was losing. The victim reportedly told Rockmore not to be such a “poor loser.” This only angered Rockmore more.
Rockmore left the gambling and walked toward his home. He reportedly returned with a gun and fired once at the ground. The ricochet hit the first victim in the heel.
The report states that Rockmore then pointed his weapon and fired. When the victim fell to the ground, Rockmore told him “I’ll kill you,” the report states.
It was then that Hester reportedly got involved, according to police.
Witnesses told police that Hester was standing close to Rockmore when the shooting took place and that Hester took the gun from Rockmore after the shooting and drove him from the scene.
