A 41-year-old man fatally shot his 59-year-old mother Friday evening during an argument at a home near Winter Garden, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies were called shortly after 8:45 p.m. to a fight at a home on Bridgewater Crossings Boulevard near Ficquette and Winter Garden Vineland roads, Orange County Deputy Ingrid Tejada-Monforte said.
When deputies arrived at the home, they heard people arguing followed by gunfire, Tejada-Monforte said.
Investigators said they arrested Wueizman Leal while he was trying to escape the home through a back door after shooting Tania Perez-Creek multiple times.
Perez-Creek was taken to Florida Hospital Winter Garden, where she died.
Leal's stepfather was also at the home during the shooting, Tejada-Monforte said.
The shooting remains under investigation.
