One dead, 2 hurt in Orange County shooting, deputies say
Deputies made an arrest after a shooting that killed one man and sent others to the hospital in Orange County.
Nineteen-year-old Malik Fisher is charged with first-degree murder.
They responded to the shooting on the 7300 block of Holly Creek Road in Zellwood at about 11 a.m.
When they arrived, they found 23-year-old Demonte Cherry shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies said a woman in her 20s and a teenage boy took themselves to the hospital after they were shot in the same altercation.
They are expected to be OK, although it's unclear whether or not Fisher is the teenage boy seen with the woman. The woman has also not been identified.
A family that gathered nearby said the man who died in the shooting was 22-year-old Demonte Cherry.
"He will be missed. That’s all I can say right now. I don’t have any words right now," Sabrina Smith, a woman who said she is an aunt of the man who died, said.
Police believe everyone in the incident has been accounted for.
"I was driving on the road and I heard the news. I was really close with him. He was a nice guy," Karen Smith, another family member, said.
"No one’s family deserves to go through nothing like this. That’s all I can say," Sabrina Smith said.
