, A man involved in a Feb. 21, 2016, shootout that injured a teen has been sentenced to serve 78 months in federal prison.

Dominique Cal, 24, was sentenced by Judge Sandy Mattice after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a weapon.

He will be under supervised release for three years after getting out of prison.

In the shootout with Gary Cross on Ocoee Street, Cal faced state charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and felon in possession of a firearm.

A 14-year-old boy suffered a bullet wound to the leg.

He said he fired one or two shots.

Police said Cal was a known gang member.
