Jury selection begins in Winter Garden murder trial over ATV shooting

Jury selection has started in the murder trial of a 57-year-old man accused of fatally shooting an ATV rider outside an apartment complex in Winter Garden in February 2025, WKMG News 6 ClickOrlando reported.

The victim, a 32-year-old man, was found dead next to his ATV at the 1,000-block of Horizon Street. Witnesses said the accused shouted at the victim before firing two shots, according to the report.

Surveillance video showed the accused walking from the apartment leasing office with a firearm, moving around a building, and apparently lying in wait before shooting the victim as he rode by.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said the accused had previously threatened ATV riders at the complex, reportedly warning that if police did not intervene, he would take matters into his own hands.

The accused faces a first-degree murder charge and is being held without bond. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Jury selection is taking place at the Orange County courthouse.
