The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. at the 6400 block of North Orange Blossom Trail near Clarcona Ocoee Road. When deputies responded to the shooting call, they found two men in their 20s with gunshot wounds. One of the men, identified as Lynch, was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The other man had non-life-threatening injuries.
Lynch was born on July 3, 1995, in Fort Pierce, Florida, to parents Nadege Fleurival Owens and Lionel Lynch. He left behind two children, Seven Lynch and Jakobe Lynch, both residing in Orlando.
