Orlando police arrested on Wednesday a suspect wanted in connection with the shooting death of a 31-year-old man that took place on Harding Street in early April. Antonio Sapp, 25, was arrested on a warrant for armed home invasion and first degree murder by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit.
On April 2, at approximately 12.22 pm, police responded to a shooting on 18 West Harding Street where they found the victim, Olestor L. Robinson, 31 years, conscious and breathing. Two officers started CPR until Orlando Fire Department officers arrived on the scene. Robinson was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Sapp’s arrest took place on Wednesday evening when Orange County Deputies received a top advising that a man wanted in connection with the 18 West Harding Street murder was in the area of East 17th Street and Highland Avenue in Apopka.  Sapp, the suspect, apparently became spooked as deputies attempted to apprehend him and he fled the area in a lime green Mercury Marquis.   Subsequently, he bailed out of the vehicle and ran.
Given that a number of tactical personnel were on the scene of the attempted apprehension, deputies were able to establish a tight perimeter in the area. K-9 Units and the agency’s helicopter were immediately on scene and assisted with an extensive, house to house, search for Sapp, the suspect.
At approximately 7:36 deputies stopped a vehicle occupied by several males on the 300 block of East 13th Street as it was attempting to leave the search area. Sapp, the suspect, was located inside that vehicle. He was positively identified and secured.
Orlando Police Department Homicide detectives were notified of the arrest and took custody of Sapp.
Antonio Sapp was booked in the Orange County Jail at 11:11 pm. He has been charged with armed home invasion and first degree murder of Olestor L. Robinson.
My brothers killers still have not been arrested four years later. We still have not been to trial in four years. Ask yourself what kind of justice is that?
Did they tell you that they let him go after him and his friends killed my brother. That they went to do another home invasion and the people that were with him told on him. He has not yet been convicted of my brother’s murder I want and deserve justice.
