Herbert Johnson got into a fight with someone in the parking lot and was shot multiple times, Tejada-Monforte said.
Orange County deputies have confirmed this is the victim’s car. Still unclear why it is parked here since his body was found feet away in the bushes that separate the Waffle House and Golden Corral parking lots. pic.twitter.com/D33QXN0foq
