- Authorities want more witnesses to come forward, many of which may be children
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office says 14-year-old Antony Reid was shot in a neighborhood near the Mall at Millenia around 6 p.m. on Saturday. Deputies also said there may have been children playing outside when this happened.
Reid, who may have been shot in the neck, later died at a nearby hospital.
Witnesses told detectives after hearing gunshots, they heard and saw a car speeding away from the scene Saturday evening on J.R. Street and Starbright Drive near the Mall at Millenia. Officials have not released a description of that vehicle.
"It’s a little scary I have a daughter myself and usually there are a lot of kids outside playing," said Elis Rodriguez, who lives near Reid.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Sheriff's Office at (407) 254-7000.
