Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said the party was supposed to have a special event permit issued by the county Saturday night, but they did not.
On top of that, Lemma said the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation is looking into how the alleged 16-year-old shooter even got into an event that was 21 and up.
“How does a 16-year-old get into a venue like this, let alone carrying a gun, but there’s alcohol that’s going on? So the state may be able to sanction and leverage against somebody’s liquor license and the opportunity to do business,” Lemma said.
We asked Seminole County and the Sheriff’s Office for clarification on who is responsible for the special event permit—Cabana Live or the four entertainment companies. As of Monday evening, Channel 9 has not heard back.

Instead, the company leaned into its existing produce box-focused model and the supply chain it built around that strategy, and built a new revenue stream on top of that.
