Orvill Osorio-Ortiz, 42, Osorio-Ortiz had previously been arrested in Osceola County on felony fraud and aggravated assault charges in 2023 and 2024, but the charges were not prosecuted in either case, court records show.
Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez announced Wednesday deputies have arrested a man charged with murder in connection with an April 11 shooting on Kellchris Lane in the Sandalwood community off Boggy Creek Road.
Orvill Osorio-Ortiz, 42, was arrested Tuesday in Pasco County, and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and four counts of attempted murder. He is held in the Pasco County Jail awaiting extradition.
In the shooting, the occupant of a vehicle, Nekko Herrera, 19, was shot, and pronounced dead shortly after the incident at UCF Lake Nona Hospital. The death was ruled a homicide the following day. Another occupant suffered gunshot wounds and was airlifted to a local hospital for medical treatment and remains in stable condition, a Sheriff’s report said.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit obtained an arrest warrant for Osorio-Ortiz on murder charges Tuesday, and the Osceola Homicide Unit apprehended him with help of Pasco deputies.
“This incident all began with a group of young adults exchanging texts about an argument over a girl. It ended in murder. I can’t make this stuff up,” Sheriff Lopez said. “The dispute led to insults ended up in a shooting.”
He said Osorio-Ortiz got involved, armed himself with a Glock handgun and “planned an ambush,” Lopez said, firing into a car with five of those involved as it drove by. Multiple shell cases were found at the shooting location. “Because of a stupid decision, a 19-year-old is dead, a life cut short far too soon, a reminder of the tragedy that can occur when anger meets access to a weapon.”
Lopez said other arrests are possible from this incident.
