Miguel Lanzo, aged 72, passed away on December 11, 2021, in Orlando, Florida. His death was the result of a tragic incident that occurred in his neighborhood. On the evening of December 11, deputies responded to reports of shots fired in the 2700 block of Numilla Drive. Upon arrival, they found Miguel Lanzo suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office identified Lanzo as the victim and immediately launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
The investigation quickly led to the arrest of Ramon Antonio Frias Valerio, a 26-year-old neighbor of Lanzo. Witnesses reported seeing Valerio shoot Lanzo, and he was subsequently charged with first-degree murder. According to reports, Valerio shot Lanzo in the back while he was in his garage.
