ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN) – On Thursday, October 9, Orange County deputies responded to a shooting at Vogt-Meloon Park on West Oak Ridge Road. The incident left 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy dead and 15-year-old Jacori Redding facing charges that could change his life forever. Both were sophomores at Oak Ridge High School, with bright futures now tragically derailed.

Altercation Began at School

According to witnesses, the two teens had a confrontation earlier in the day on campus. Redding reportedly bumped into Dalmacy in the hallway. When Dalmacy asked him to apologize, Redding refused. The disagreement escalated, and both agreed to meet after school to fight at Vogt-Meloon Park.

Tragic Shooting at the Park

Once at the basketball court, the argument turned deadly. Deputies say Redding shot Dalmacy during the altercation. After the shooting, Redding ran back to Oak Ridge High School. School Resource Officer Deputy Nelson Rodriguez acted swiftly, coordinating with school officials to secure the suspect in the cafeteria. Deputies later found the firearm in Redding’s bag.

Sheriff Mina’s Statement

“My heart aches for Pinyon’s family, who are grieving this unimaginable loss,” said Orange County Sheriff John Mina. “And I’m angry that something as small as bumping into someone in the halls of a high school can result in a shooting death.”

Investigation and Community Appeal

Jacori Redding has been arrested, and a juvenile custody order was issued for manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a firearm on school property.
Detectives believe several witnesses were present during the shooting and that videos may exist. Authorities are asking anyone with information or footage to contact investigators at ocsoinfo@ocsofl.com.

CLERMONT, Fla. (FNN) – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shocking case of property destruction in Clermont, where a suspect reportedly used heavy machinery to demolish part of a home and an SUV—then left behind a profanity-laced message on the side of the house.

Deputies responded to the scene near Pine Island and Montevista Roads around 7 a.m. Friday, where they found a home with multiple large holes in its structure and debris scattered across the property. A nearby SUV had its roof crushed and windows shattered, consistent with damage from heavy equipment, possibly an excavator.

One side of the home featured a message scrawled in large letters, including a person’s name followed by the phrase: “You [expletive] with the wrong girl.”

“It is heartbreaking to see a residence vandalized this way,” said Stephanie Earley, spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. “We are actively investigating to identify the individual responsible and bring them to justice.”

Authorities confirmed no injuries occurred and that no machinery was found at the scene upon their arrival. The motive appears personal in nature, but the case remains under active investigation.
