According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, homicide detectives secured an arrest warrant for 31-year-old Christopher Daveian Haynes charging him with first-degree premeditated murder for the March 23 shooting deaths of 56-year-old Errol Irving and 49-year-old Joslyn Gray
Deputies initially responded just after 3:30 a.m. that Saturday morning to a business on North Pine Hills Road that was labeled as a tax office, but was later determined to be operating illegally as an after-hours club.
Responding deputies arrived to find both victims already dead at the scene, according to the sheriff’s office.
Investigators now say Haynes was attending a party at the club on the day of the shooting and that Gray was the only person he intended to kill.
