The Orlando Police Department has taken three individuals into custody in relation to a recent shooting that resulted in injuries to both a man and a young four-year-old girl. The shooting occurred on Oxalis Avenue this past Saturday just after the midday hour. One of the suspects, Marvin Antonio Paguanda Sanchez, was apprehended at the scene and now faces an array of charges, including two counts of accessory after the fact, as detailed by WESH.
When officers arrived, they discovered a 45-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The girl, who was also struck, was rapidly transported to the hospital by an individual present at the location. The authorities have good news, however: both victims are expected to make full recoveries. Police have stated that there were two other individuals present who were fortunate enough to escape physical harm. As they continue to piece together the events, they are also seeking to possibly identify additional suspects involved in the incident.
Yasmi Lidieth Matamoros-Mendoza, another suspect, fled the state and was later detained by U.S. Marshals in Louisiana. She initially attempted to conceal her identity with a fake Mexican passport and ID, but her true identity was eventually unveiled. She now faces multiple charges, including that of attempted second-degree murder.
The third suspect, Juan Carlos Lopez-Ruiz, has also been arrested and charged. His list of charges includes attempted second-degree murder, among others, as reported by WFTV. Orlando police are continuing their investigation into the shooting and have urged the public to come forward with any information that could potentially help to identify any more individuals involved in the shooting. Surveillance footage from moments leading up to the incident was released by the police on Monday, hoping that it might aid in finding those still at large.
