Months after a man was found deceased at an Orange County apartment complex, a suspect has been taken into custody by local authorities. In the wake of a diligent investigation, the Orange County Sheriff's Office has arrested 28-year-old Deandre Johnson in connection to the death of 41-year-old Anthony Hawkins, as reported by WFTV.
The case began early on August 30 when deputies were called to an apartment complex on Americana Boulevard near Orange Blossom Trail to check on an unresponsive man. They found Hawkins in the courtyard with clear signs of trauma. Despite rescue efforts, he died from his injuries. No arrest was made until this latest development.
According to a FOX 35 Orlando report, Johnson appeared before the court facing a second-degree murder charge and was denied bond during his court proceedings. Investigators have not disclosed specific details about the relationship between Johnson and Hawkins or any potential motive.
