The tragedy unfolded in Sanford last month as a 22-year-old man was killed while allegedly trying to sell a pair of headphones. As reported by ClickOrlando, two arrests have been made in relation to the shooting. The latest, a 17-year-old male, was taken into custody without incident on Tuesday, following the earlier arrest of a 15-year-old back on Aug. 21.
Around 9:30 p.m. on July 20, Sanford police were called to a scene near West 3rd Street and Pomegranate Avenue where they discovered the victim, identified as Brandon Leo, deceased in his partially submerged pickup truck in a retention pond. Officials believe the sale was set to take place at a nearby home, though the residence was unoccupied — suggesting the transaction could have been a "set up," according to FOX 35.
Both teens are being charged with first-degree felony murder. ClickOrlando confirms that an investigation is still ongoing, with further details yet to emerge. Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Sanford Police Department or call Crimeline at 800 423-TIPS (8477).
