ORLANDO, Fla. — There was a heavy police presence all around Curry Vista Plaza in Orlando overnight Saturday after receiving a 911 call reporting multiple gunshots coming from a nearby parked van.
Multiple OPD vehicles were dispatched and remained at the scene for several hours. Officers discovered Luis G. Vicente-Martinez, 59, inside the vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound.
A Channel 9 crew arrived at the location around 3:30 Saturday morning following reports of a possible shooting or stabbing in the area. The incident happened behind a McDonald’s in the plaza on Curry Ford Road at the corner of Semoran Boulevard.
The van appeared to belong to Daniel’s Plumbing Services, which is based in Sarasota. I contacted them through various channels for comments but they said they had no comments.
Officers were focused on the area surrounding the green van that had multiple bullet marks on the ground, which usually indicates the number of shots fired.
At the location, Channel 9 was able to confirm with officers that a person was indeed shot and killed just before 3 am.
The medical examiner’s office also had a crew on the scene. Semoran Boulevard, Curry Ford Road, and Pine Crest had been blocked off for traffic initially; they have now been opened.
Channel 9 has reached out to OPD for information and is waiting to hear back. This shooting is still under investigation at this time.
