Breaking overnight: OPD investigating deadly shooting at Orlando Plaza

OPD investigating deadly shooting at Orlando Plaza

ORLANDO, Fla. — There was a heavy police presence all around Curry Vista Plaza in Orlando overnight Saturday. Multiple OPD vehicles were dispatched and remained at the scene for more than hours.

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.

Officers were focused on the area surrounding a 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.
