HAWTHORNE – A 27-year-old man sought by the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office following an August shooting in Hawthorne is in custody and facing an attempted murder charge, according to court records.
The Sheriff’s Office announced that Adrion Flowers, also known as “Solo Mook” and “Mook,” had been taken into custody after previously asking the public for help locating him.
“Adrion Flowers is in custody,” the Sheriff’s Office announced in an update on social media. “Thank you for sharing the post, sending in your tips, and spreading the word!”
Flowers is charged with attempted second-degree murder, possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted Florida felon and discharging a firearm on public or residential property, according to the official court file.
The charges stem from a shooting in the 6000 block of Southeast 225th Street in Hawthorne on Aug. 24.
Multiple deputies responded that afternoon following a report that a person had been shot. When deputies arrived, they found an adult man suffering from a single gunshot wound, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies provided medical aid until emergency medical personnel arrived. Alachua County Fire Rescue transported the man to a local hospital with injuries that authorities said were not considered life-threatening.
Detectives and crime scene investigators responded to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The Sheriff’s Office later identified Flowers as a suspect and asked the public for assistance locating him, saying he had fled the area following the shooting and might be driving a black Dodge Durango with a red stripe. Authorities offered a potential reward of up to $5,000 for information about his whereabouts.
The Sheriff’s Office subsequently announced that Flowers had been taken into custody but did not provide details in its social media post about where or when he was apprehended.
Jail records show Flowers is being held without bond. He also is being held on a probation violation in a separate 2025 criminal case.
The Sheriff’s Office has not released the identity of the shooting victim or additional information about what led to the incident.
