On Saturday, deputies responded to reports of a shooting at the Lazy Frog Bar located at 4331 N State Highway 6.
Witnesses told deputies that Obregon and 34-year-old man were involved in a fight and Obregon was escorted out of the bar around 2:40 a.m.
Deputies said the man returned to the bar shortly after at 2;46 a.m. with a pistol in his hand and aimed it the victim. The man then pulled out a gun of his own and shot towards Obregon, but missed him.
Deputies said Obregon returned fire, shooting the victim and a 36-year-old bar employee. Both victims were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Obregon fled the scene in his vehicle, which is believed to be a Nissan Juke, 2015-2020 model, possibly mustard yellow or a goldish color, according to deputies.
Obregon is described as a Hispanic man, 39 years old, 5 feet, 5 inches to 5 feet tall, with a military-style haircut, stocky build, with several tattoos on his arm, neck and chest area.
