ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Three people died and one person was injured in a shooting overnight after an argument over a motorcycle, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office said two men died at the scene and two other people went to a hospital, where one later died.

The other person who went to the hospital has non-life-threatening injuries, according to deputies.

Sheriff John Mina said the person at the hospital is not cooperating with law enforcement officers.

Investigators said the warehouse housed some sort of motorcycle club.

“All we know so far is that there was an argument or confrontation over someone’s motorcycle -- a disagreement about something and that’s when the shooting happened,” Mina said.

Mina said there were several witnesses and investigators believe the people involved knew each other.

“This is not an incident where someone came from somewhere else,” Mina said. “They all know each other and we want those witnesses to come forward and give us more information.”

According to deputies, SWAT personnel were at the scene as a precaution to make sure the buildings were clear.

Sheriff Mina said the shooting has no relation to the ongoing gang violence.

Deputies have not named a suspect in the case or released the names of those who were killed.
