A man was shot and killed as party-goers left an apartment complex on Orange County’s east side.
Deputies say, 24-year-old Brandon M. Benjamin succumbed to his injuries at the Florida East Hospital early on Saturday morning.
Benjamin was caught up in an argument as he left a party in the 3800 block of Gathering Drive off University Boulevard. That’s when shots were fired and he was struck around 2:00 a.m., deputies say.
Detectives are looking for the driver of an older model light-colored full-sized pickup truck, possible a Dodge Ram, which was seen near the location of The Gathering apartments. The vehicle has a hood ornament and is described as “rough looking” with rust on the body of it, detectives say. A Hispanic male was driving the vehicle.
Investigators are following up on numerous leads.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call Crimeline at # 1-800-423-TIPS.
