Love Triangle Shooting: Bystander Hit, Suspect Held

An innocent bystander is recovering after being shot on John Young Parkway on February 4th, 2026. The incident occurred when 23-year-old Anthony Myles allegedly fired shots at his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend. A WFTV crew witnessed the unfolding chaos, which led to Myles's arrest and subsequent booking into the Orange County Jail on no bond. He faces three counts of attempted second-degree murder. The injured bystander, identified as 76-year-old Digna Chmarouski, was struck in the shoulder while inside a vehicle. Her daughter, Bernice Chmarouski, described the terrifying moments when their car was hit by bullets. This event is not Myles's first encounter with law enforcement; court records indicate a prior domestic violence complaint was filed against him in November 2025, involving accusations of stalking and threats with a firearm. However, that case was dropped approximately three weeks before the February 4th shooting due to the victim's statement. Prosecutors highlighted the case's recent dismissal as a concerning factor during a court appearance.
