On March 28, 2024, at approximately 11 a.m., a fatal shooting occurred in the 800 block of Dorado Avenue in Orlando, Florida. The incident was linked to a landlord-tenant dispute. Two subjects, later identified as being involved in the dispute, arrived at the residence armed and ready to confront the tenant.
An argument ensued, resulting in both of the armed subjects being shot by the tenant.
One of the subjects, Angel Luis Santos, a 40-year-old White Hispanic male, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second subject, who was also shot, was transported to the Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) with non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation by the Orlando Police Department led to the arrest of Joel Santos Garcia, a 38-year-old White Hispanic male, on April 29, 2024. Garcia was charged with second-degree felony murder and burglary of a dwelling with a firearm. The arrest was made by the Fugitive Investigative Unit of the Orlando Police Department, following the work of the Homicide Detectives.
