Two Central Florida men have been indicted for murder after a fatal shooting at a Kissimmee birthday party.
An Osceola County grand jury formally indicted 41-year-old Maximo Mercado and 29-year-old Liam Nicholson for First Degree Murder (with a Firearm) for fatally shooting a man at a birthday party.
On January 21, 2024, the suspects attended a birthday party at a home in Osceola County.
As they were leaving, a physical altercation occurred involving 31-year-old Steven Perez. Perez was shot and killed.
The State presented sufficient evidence to a grand jury to secure First Degree Murder (with a Firearm) indictments against Mercado and Nicholson.
