Monday's report. Orlando, Orange County. April sixteenth, twenty twenty-six. Five stories. All from the public record. Let's get to it.First. A sixteen-year-old is being charged as an adult in connection with a mass shooting in Orlando's Parramore neighborhood. According to court records, Cody Doggett faces one count of attempted second-degree murder with a firearm. The charges stem from a February fifteenth shooting outside Sister Soul Food restaurant on South Parramore Avenue. Orlando police say four juveniles were struck by gunfire during what investigators describe as a gang-related conflict involving multiple shooters. Three sustained non-life-threatening injuries. But here's the detail that changed the charges. Police say Doggett allegedly returned to the scene approximately one minute after the initial gunfire and opened fire on a crowd that had gathered to help the wounded. One victim was struck in the head, resulting in serious injuries. A judge ordered Doggett held without bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for this week. Bullets also hit sections of the restaurant, including a television and windows, and grazed a woman inside. Parramore has seen more than its share. This one hit a restaurant full of bystanders.Story two. Kenneth Chee, owner of a company called Devastating Pyrotechnics, was arrested last week at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. Not for cutting in line. Chee is facing seven counts of murder, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives in connection with a fireworks warehouse explosion in Esparto, California, that killed seven people in July twenty twenty-five. According to the Yolo County District Attorney, Chee allegedly ran a front operation that imported eleven million pounds of illegal explosives over a ten-year period without permits. Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies picked him up at three fifty-one Studio Drive in Bay Lake. He was ordered held without bond at the Orange County Jail and awaits extradition to California. Six other individuals have also been arrested. A grand jury report titled "Officials Knew, None Acted" found that fire officials had discovered dangerous fireworks at the site as far back as twenty twenty-two. No local permit or business license was ever obtained. Sometimes the paperwork that doesn't exist tells you more than the paperwork that does.Story three. Terrance Perkins, age thirty-nine, a now-former camp director at Shalom Orlando in Maitland, was arrested April eighth following a joint sting operation by Homeland Security Investigations and the Orlando Police Department. According to the arrest affidavit, Perkins allegedly used the dating app "Boo" to message someone he believed was a fourteen-year-old girl. That someone was an undercover federal agent. The affidavit states Perkins acknowledged the decoy's stated age, discussed sexual acts, and offered to bring alcohol. He initially backed out, messaging, quote, "too much, too fast. If this goes sideways, I lose everything." He re-engaged on April eighth and was arrested upon arrival at a predetermined location on Curry Ford Road. Perkins was charged with attempted lewd or lascivious battery and solicitation of a minor. Shalom Orlando confirmed his immediate termination and stated they are not aware of any misconduct involving their campers or programs. During his interview with detectives, Perkins stated that if the fourteen-year-old had been real, he would have, quote, "done something he shouldn't have done." That's not an apology. That's a confession.Story four. A seventeen-year-old suspect has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder with a firearm in the April first shooting death of twenty-year-old Celebrity Green. According to the Orlando Police Department, the shooting occurred in the seven hundred block of Ivey Lane. Officers found Green suffering from gunshot wounds. She was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Investigators determined the shooting followed an argument after Green asked two individuals to leave an apartment because they were being too loud. A noise complaint. That's what started this. During the altercation, one individual allegedly pulled a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking Green. The suspect's name has not been released due to his age. The investigation remains ongoing.And finally. A man in his thirties was shot Sunday night in the eleven hundred block of Lee Road, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded around eight forty p.m. and found the victim in critical condition. He was transported to a nearby hospital. The investigation is active and no arrests have been announced. That's all the record gives us for now.Five incidents. Two held without bond. One fugitive nabbed at the Happiest Place on Earth. One sting that worked exactly as designed. And one noise complaint that ended a life.This program is based entirely on publicly available court records, arrest reports,This ...
