On February 28, 2024, a shooting incident in Orlando, Florida, left one person dead and six others injured. The Orlando Police Department responded to a home off Iron Wedge Drive and South Lake Orlando in reference to shots fired at 11 p.m. Seven people were located with gunshot wounds, and sadly, one of the victims, 21-year-old James Jerry Dawn William III, was pronounced dead at the scene. The confrontation began earlier in the day at around 3 p.m. due to a vehicle that had not been returned on the agreed date.
