It was not until the police were already on route when the caller said that a gunshot was heard fired from an unknown location. 

Once the officers arrived at the scene, gunfire erupted. The suspect, identified as Kyle Raymond, shot multiple times from the fifth floor of Allure by Windsor.  

According to the Boca Raton police department, negotiators were able to get in contact with Raymond by phone. There he agreed to walk out to meet the Boca Raton SWAT Team and Crisis Negotiation Team who responded to the scene.

The investigation resulted in the 25-year-old being charged with two counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and the unlawful discharge of a firearm. He was transported to Palm Beach County jail.
