Lathon Jeen Yee turned himself in to Ocoee police Tuesday, a week after cops released surveillance footage they say shows Yee shooting at another man outside the bar "Frank’s Place." Yee is charged with attempted second-degree murder.

Police said Yee and the victim – identified as 39-year-old Eric Meeks – got into an argument inside the establishment on Oct. 9 after Meeks refused to drink a shot of liquor offered to him by Yee.

The argument eventually spilled outside, where cameras show Yee pulling out a gun and shooting at Meeks several times before fleeing in a black vehicle, cops said.

Police said Meeks was only struck once, in the foot.

In the warrant affidavit, police said a witness told them the argument between the two men originated with a remark Yee made about a woman at the bar -- to which Meeks took offense

Joshua Seyfang, who was working as an assistant manager at the bar, told Click Orlando he estimated about 12 rounds were fired.
