A man is dead and another is injured after a shooting near Colonial Drive and State Road 417 late Sunday night in Orange County, the Sheriff's Office said.
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies said Jorge Rivera, 26, and Joshua Casanova, 39, was shot and killed outside the Park Nine apartments around 11 p.m.
Casanova was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition, deputies said. Rivera was taken to Florida Hospital East Orlando, where he later died.
Investigators said the shots were fired during a melee involving multiple people.
Deputies have not said if the two men were shooting at each other or if another potential person is involved.
A black 2015 Chevrolet Impala, with license plate number Y42QEH, was seen leaving the scene of the shooting, detectives said.
Investigators believe there may have been other victims in the Impala and ask anyone with information about who was inside the car to call the sheriff's office.
Witnesses said the scene after the shooting prevented them from driving in or out of the complex.
"I'm coming now to pick up my truck because last night I had to leave it," said a witness who only wished to be identified as John. "I had to walk out of the complex because I just couldn't get the truck out."
It appears from records that both victims at one time lived in the same home a couple miles away from where they were shot.
