JaYy Wick, whose real name is Donald Anderson and is 26 years old, was taken into custody on May 6, 2026, facing charges of attempted first-degree murder linked to a shooting incident in Panama City Beach, Florida. Authorities report that on the evening of April 25, during the '229 Takeover Weekend,' Anderson allegedly shot an 18-year-old man multiple times at Beach Access 83. Fortunately, the victim survived despite sustaining serious injuries.
Witnesses claim that after the shooting, JaYy Wick left the scene and later performed at Vibez Nightclub in Panama City, seemingly unfazed by the earlier events, as per the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Arrest and Investigation
Following the incident, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation and identified Anderson as the suspect based on eyewitness testimonies. Detectives tracked him to the Atlanta area, crossing state lines.
On May 5-6, a coordinated effort involving multiple agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service and local police departments, led to his arrest without any complications. A firearm was recovered during this operation, and body camera footage from the arrest, which reportedly took place in a mall food court, has been shared online.
Anderson is currently awaiting extradition to Florida, where he faces a minimum sentence of 25 years if found guilty.
