TAMPA - Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for one of two suspects still wanted in connection with a home invasion in Odessa that ended in one death and three injuries.

A warrant for Shareen Samuel, 18, charging him with home invasion robbery and three counts of aggravated battery, was issued Wednesday, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

About 9:30 p.m. Sunday, four men entered a single-wide mobile home on Rails Road occupied by five people and demanded money, the Sheriff's Office said.

A brawl erupted, and three residents were injured in the fight, one shot and two stabbed. All three were hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries, authorities said.

One of the intruders, Cecil Alfonso Huggins, 21, was shot in the buttocks when another intruder's gun went off during the fight, the Sheriff's Office said.

One intruder jumped out a window and ran into the woods, the Sheriff's Office said. The others fled with the wounded Huggins in his 1998 Toyota Camry, leaving him at St. Joseph's Hospital, where he died.

Sheriff's deputies using a search dog found a suspect in the woods. Adel'B Schulter-Brandt, 23, broke his hand jumping out of the window and also was bitten by the dog when located, Carter said.

He was arrested on charges of armed home invasion and three counts of aggravated battery. He was in the county jail Wednesday with no bail.

The Sheriff's Office is still searching for Samuel and one other unnamed suspect. The Camry was recovered on Monterey Boulevard, a few miles south of the crime scene.
