Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Elba Caridad Martin-Schomaker, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Kimwana Hamilton is appealing his judgment and sentences entered after a jury found him guilty of: (1) second-degree murder; (2) shooting into a building; (3) attempted second-degree murder; and (4) shooting into a vehicle. We affirm his judgment and sentences. However, we are required to remand to the trial court for the purpose of entering a written order, nunc pro tunc, determining Mr. Hamilton was competent to stand trial, since the trial court simply made an oral pronouncement. See Holland v. State, 185 So. 3d 636, 637 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016) ; see also Hampton v. State, 988 So. 2d 103, 106 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008) ; Corbitt v. State, 744 So. 2d 1130, 1130 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999).

Affirmed; remanded with directions.

KHOUZAM, C.J., and ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM and SMITH, JJ., Concur.
