This is not the first shooting in Orange County that occurred over the past few weeks.
Five days before the latest shooting, the Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation on two overnight shootings that happened subsequently, with one taking place at South Orange Blossom Trail’s Kwik Shop, and the other one at the Aristotle Avenue.
The first victim on Aristotle Avenue was found with a gunshot wound and was transported immediately to the hospital but he was pronounced dead upon arrival, FOX affiliate WOFL reported.
The victim at the Kwik Shop, on the other hand, was shot by a yet-to-be-identified suspect. The 21-year-old victim sustained injuries from the gunshot wound but he was treated at the hospital and has since been on stable condition.
Local detectives are still looking into the two shootings while authorities search for the suspects in the shootings.
Meanwhile, another person was killed in Pine Hills Road over the weekend following a shooting that took place near Orange County’s Evans High School.
According to NBC affiliate WESH, deputies were called to a shooting incident to Belco Drive at around 2:15 a.m. Responders found a 26-year-old male with a gunshot wound. Medics transported him to the hospital where he later died.
Authorities have yet to release more information about the victim, the suspect, and the motive for the shooting. A probe has been launched into the incident.
