A 22-year-old Evening Shade man is facing multiple felony charges and a $100,000 bond after allegedly firing a gun near two pedestrians in Melbourne last year.
According to court documents, Joseph Ray Horn (pictured below) told a confidential informant he fired at two people walking near the Melbourne Sonic on July 23, 2024. The arrest affidavit stated Horn smiled as he recounted the shooting to the informant.
