The Sunday morning altercation at the Palm Beach Commons plaza, culminating in gunfire around 4:30 a.m., has undergone a significant shift with McLinton now identified as the alleged aggressor. Despite sustaining injuries that warranted hospitalization, McLinton found himself booked into the Palm Beach County jail.
