A 33 year-old man died Sunday morning after an argument turned into a shooting on North Orange Avenue, according to the Orlando Police Department.

Around 2:30 a.m. police responded to a shooting at the 1900 block of North Orange Avenue, OPD said. Upon their arrival, officers found Julien Emmanuel Cruz, 33, with a gunshot wound and transported him to a nearby hospital.

Through their investigation OPD learned that Cruz and 37-year-old Jean Gabriel Borja Gil De La Madr were involved in a verbal altercation that turned physical on the sidewalk.
