CRASH, AND WE’LL CHECK IN WITH SOME TRAVEL TIMES IN A FEW MINUTES. MAYOR MEAGHAN SANFORD POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A DEADLY SHOOTING, AND THEY REALLY HAVE THEIR WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM. IN THIS CASE, WESH 2’S TONY ATKINS IS LIVE AT THE SANFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT. TONY POLICE SAY THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE SHOOTING EVEN HAPPENED. YEAH, SHELDON AT THIS POINT, THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE A CRIME SCENE TO INVESTIGATE. SO INFORMATION IS VERY LIMITED IN THIS CASE. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THE VICTIM WAS A MALE. THEY WERE SHOT AND THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME VIDEO THAT WE GOT FROM THAT HOSPITAL. UH, POLICE SAY THE MAN WAS TAKEN TO HCA FLORIDA LAKE MONROE YESTERDAY. WE WERE THERE AS THEY TOWED AWAY A SILVER HYUNDAI SEDAN FROM THE HOSPITAL. RIGHT NOW, IT’S UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE, BUT OFFICERS, THEY WERE THERE AT THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY WORKING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THIS SHOOTING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. SO STILL A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THIS SHOOTING. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SANFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAY AT SOME POINT THIS MORNING THEY DO PLAN ON RELEASING MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE LEARNING. IT’S BEEN A LONG NIGHT OF INVESTIGATING, SO HOPEFULLY THEY’RE GETTING CLOSER TO CRACKING THIS CASE FOR NOW. REPORTING LIVE IN SANFORD, TONY ATKINS WESH 2 NEWS. WELL, PLANS ARE MOVING FORWARD TO BUILD A MEMORIAL FOR THE PULSE VICTIMS. THE CITY OF ORLANDO WANTS TO BRING IN A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION. WESH 2’S MICHELLE MEREDITH EXPLAINS. REACTION IS MIXED AT HOW MUCH TIME IN THIS PACKAGE, CLOSE TO EIGHT YEARS AFTER THE MASSACRE, THERE IS NO REAL MEMORIAL AT THE FORMER PULSE NIGHTCLUB, JUST A MAKESHIFT TRIBUTE INTENDED TO BE REPLACED YEARS AGO WITH HEARTBREAKING, WASHED OUT FACES. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THE 49. WE NEED TO HONOR THEM. TUESDAY MORNING, THE CITY ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO REIGNITE MORE BURIAL EFFORTS. THE CITY OF ORLANDO HAS HIRED A COMPANY OUT OF TEXAS, A THIRD PARTY NOT TO DESIGN A BUILDING, BUT TO TALK TO PEOPLE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE A VOICE AND HOW IT SHOULD LOOK, FEEL AND DEVELOP A VISION. IF WE’RE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE FOR THEIR TIME AND THEIR ENERGY, AND TO REVISIT THIS TRAGEDY, WE WILL MAKE THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE INFORMATION AND THE SENTIMENTS THAT THEY SHARE WITH US. THE COMPANY IS TASKED WITH REACHING OUT TO SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS FAMILIES. THE LATINO COMMUNITY, THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY, AND MANY MORE. DOCTOR LARRY SCHOOLER, A CONFLICT RESOLUTION EXPERT, WILL BE IN CHARGE. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL FOR SKEPTICISM, AND GIVEN EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED IN THE PAST, SOME PULSE SURVIVORS ARE SKEPTICAL. AGAIN, WHY ARE WE AGAIN BRINGING SOMEBODY ELSE? BUT THEN THIS IS THE THE PART OF ME THAT SAYS, LET’S HOLD ON. LET’S JUST TRY TO GIVE IT A CHANCE, SEE IF IT WORKS, GO TENGO LA OPORTUNIDAD. Y PUEDO HABLAR POR ELLOS JACKIE ELLOS NO TIENEN LA VOZ. YO PUES VOY A SEGUIR LUCHANDO POR DERECHOS Y POR QUÉ NO ESTAN AQUI. BUT IT’S NECESSARY FOR THE HEALING NOT JUST OF THE VICTIMS, NOT JUST OF THE FAMILIES, BUT FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. A COMMUNITY THAT’S BEEN WAITING IN ORANGE COUNTY, MICHELLE MEREDITH WESH TWO NEWS. THE CONTRACT IS ABOUT $88,000 AND IS EXPECTED TO TAKE TEN WEEKS. THE MAYOR ALSO WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR WHEN READY, THE CITY IS GOING TO BUILD A MEMORIAL, NOT A MUSEUM. WELL, THE LAKE COUNTY MAN WHO INVESTIGATORS ACCUSED OF STRANGLING HIS PREGNANT STEPMOM FACED A JURY YESTERDAY, FIVE YEARS AFTER HER DEATH IN. ANSELMO IS PLEADING INSANITY, AND THE JURY HEARD THE CHILLING 911 CALL FROM THAT DAY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED, PLEASE? AND WHO IS IT THAT YOU INJURED? SO WELL. AND AND SO MY STEPMOTHER. WELL, IAN WAS 20 AT THE TIME WHEN PROSECUTORS SAY HE USED A CORD TO STRANGLE SUE ELLEN ANSELMO AFTER THE TWO GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT, SHE WAS SIX WEEKS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. HER DAUGHTER TESTIFIED HOW IAN’S BIOLOGICAL DAD ABUSED HER MOM AND THEIR CHILDREN. RICO HAD A SHEET WRAPPED AROUND MY MOTHER’S NECK AND WHAT WAS HE TRYING TO DO? HE WAS TRYING TO PULL IT AS HARD AS HE COULD, SO HE’S TRYING TO STRANGLE HER. CORRECT. AND EVEN THOUGH IAN CAUSED YOUR MOTHER’S PASSING, YOU BELIEVE THE CATALYST WAS JOHN, RIGHT? YES. IAN’S ATTORNEYS ARGUE THAT HE HAS RELIED ON MEDICATIONS HIS ENTIRE LIFE BECAUSE OF HIS MENTAL HEALTH. WHEN HE WAS STRIPPED AWAY FROM THAT, THEY SAY HE SNAPPED. ORLANDO. POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR THIS MAN WANTED FOR THE MURDER OF AN OCOEE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER. THEY BELIEVE JEROME SMITH. THE THIRD, WAS INVOLVED IN A 2020 DRIVE BY SHOOTING THAT KILLED DEXTER RENTZ. LAST MONTH, POLICE ARRESTED CHRISTOPHER BURKE FOR SECOND DEGREE MURDER. SMITH FACES THE SAME CHARGE INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE SHOOTING WAS GANG RELATED. RUNS FAMILY SAYS HE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY GANGS. POLICE BELIEVE THAT HE WAS AN INNOCENT VICTIM. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED TO CALL CRIME LINE. A 15 YEAR OLD BOY IS BEING CHARGED AS AN ADULT IN THE DEATH OF AN EDUCATOR WHO WAS SHOT AT THE CENTRAL FLORIDA FAIRGROUNDS. INVESTIGATORS SAY JADEN MAXEY KILLED 35 YEAR OLD VERONICA RAMIREZ LAST MONTH. SHE WAS A TEACHER’S ASSISTANT AT SORRENTO ELEMENTARY IN LAKE COUNTY. MAXEY IS IN JAIL THIS MORNING WITHOUT BOND. AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE WERE SHOT NEAR A POPULAR GATHERING AREA IN TAMPA ON TUESDAY. THIS ALL HAPPENED AROUND 4:00 AFTER A DISTURBANCE ESCALATED INTO GUNFIRE NEAR A MIXED USE EVENT SPACE CALLED ARMATURE WORKS. POLICE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS ONE SHOOTER INVOLVED AND SAY THE INCIDENT WAS NOT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATION, THOUGH NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED. JUST THIS MORNING, A TEENAGER IN CASSELBERRY IS BEING HAILED A HERO AFTER SAVING A DOG FROM A BURNING HOME. YEAH, THAT FIRE DAMAGED TWO HOMES YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. YOU SEE THOSE FLAMES RIPPING THROUGH ONE OF THEM IN THIS VIDEO? FIRE DEPARTMENT IS STILL INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE, BUT THEY THINK IT’S POSSIBLE THAT A DOWNED POWER LINE STARTED THAT FIRE. YEAH, THE OWNER OF THE HOME THAT WAS MORE SEVERELY DAMAGED SHARED PICTURES OF THE INSIDE. HE SAYS A LOT OF HIS BELONGINGS GOT DESTROYED, BUT THANKS TO HIS 16 YEAR OLD NEIGHBOR, ALL OF HIS PETS MADE IT OUT OF THE HOME SAFELY. THAT TEENAGER SAVED HIS 12 YEAR OLD YORKIE MIX FROM THE BACKYARD. THE FIRE WAS SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE BACKYARD. I WAS PROBABLY 4 OR 5FT AWAY FROM IT, AND THE YORKIE ALMOST RAN INTO THE FIRE. IF I HADN’T BEEN THERE, THE YORKIE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOT BURNED FOR 16 YEAR OLD TO DO THAT. IT’S, UH, ANY PERSON TO DO THAT. IT’S AMAZING.
