Authorities say Dell was an innocent bystander, noting he was not involved in the altercation and was simply caught in the crossfire at Cabana Live.
What happened
According to police, at some point during the night, a fistfight broke out.
During the fight, an unidentified 16-year-old pulled out a handgun and started shooting at a crowd of people. It is believed that at least 10 people, including Dell, were shot and injured.
It was later discovered that there was a second unidentified shooter who returned fire with an additional five rounds. The search continues for the second unidentified gunman.
A security guard standing nearby was able to tackle the teen, however, and disarm him.
