The Orange County community is grappling with the heartache of a young life cut short. Jerry Loreeson Dorisme, 28, was arrested and charged with the murder of 13-year-old Rose Thalie Dieujuste, who was found dead with signs of trauma on July 4. According to WFTV, Dorisme was taken into custody on Thursday and faces first-degree murder charges.
Found unresponsive in an apartment complex along South Rio Grande Avenue in Orlando, Dieujuste's demise was a tragic start to what should have been a day of national celebration. Caught on social media, Orange County Sheriff John Mina announced that a video showing Dorisme in custody will be revealed. On Friday at 10 a.m., he is expected to provide further details regarding the arrest in a news conference. Charged with first-degree felony murder, Dorisme is set to appear in court at 1 p.m., as derived from court records.
After a hospital rush where Dieujuste later succumbed to her injuries, the Orange County Sheriff's Office had previously disclosed a video of a person of interest in the teen's death. Sheriff John Mina is slated to further elaborate on the circumstances of the arrest and subsequent investigation.
The community awaits as the sheriff's update could perhaps offer closure to a rattled community, still reeling from such an unforeseeable loss. The video, obtained by WESH, showing Dorisme’s arrest, is anticipated to shed some light on the tragic events leading up to the young girl’s untimely death. The story remains developing, and more information is expected to surface following the sheriff's press conference.
