<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWILL HAVE MORE ON WESH TWO NEWS AT SIX. THE FAMILY OF A FORMER ORLANDO POLICE OFFICER MURDERED ON NEW YEAR\u2019S DAY WANTS THE MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT FOR THE MAN CHARGED IN HIS KILLING. DENNIS TURNER WAS SHOT OUTSIDE A HOME BELONGING TO ONE OF HIS WIFE\u2019S FAMILY MEMBERS. GEOFFREY LONDON WAS CAUGHT AND IS CHARGED IN THE CRIME. WESH 2\u2019S GREG FOX LIVE AT ORLANDO POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN GREG, LONDON, WASN\u2019T EVEN SUPPOSED TO HAVE A GUN. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. BECAUSE OF A PRIOR FELONY CONVICTION YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS A TEENAGER, HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO POSSESS A FIREARM OR AMMUNITION. AND ACCORDING TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF DENNIS TURNER, HE DID NOT ALWAYS CARRY A FIREARM. WHEN HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER. PEOPLE WOULD CALL HIM LIKE OFFICER FRIENDLY BECAUSE HE WAS SO KIND TO EVERYONE. DENISE TURNER AND HER SIBLINGS AND SO MANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS NOW HAVE ONLY MEMORIES AND TREASURED PHOTOS OF DENNIS TURNER. HE SPENT 23 YEARS WITH THE ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT HIS DAUGHTER DOESN\u2019T BELIEVE HE WAS ARMED. WHEN HIS WIFE\u2019S AUNT CALLED HIM TO THIS HOUSE ON COZART STREET, NEW YEARS DAY, SHORTLY BEFORE 7:00 THAT NIGHT, HE WAS FOUND FATALLY SHOT JUST OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR. HE\u2019S BEEN A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER LIKE MY WHOLE LIFE, AND HE WAS A GOOD OFFICER. AND HE WAS A GOOD DAD. IT\u2019S ONE THING TO LOSE SOMEBODY BECAUSE THEY\u2019RE SICK OR OLD. IT\u2019S A DIFFERENT THING TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE MAKE A DECISION LIKE THAT, THAT DECISION TO PULL A TRIGGER AND TAKE HIS LIFE WAS MADE BY GEOFFREY LONDON. ACCORDING TO ORLANDO POLICE DETECTIVES, HE\u2019S THE FATHER OF TURNER\u2019S WIFE, KIARA, THOUGH IT\u2019S UNCLEAR WHY CHIARA\u2019S AUNT, LONDON\u2019S SISTER, WHO LIVES AT THE HOME CALLED LONDON TO THE HOUSE OR WHAT PROMPTED THE SHOOTING. LONDON WAS LATER CAPTURED IN HIGHLANDS COUNTY AND CHARGED WITH MURDER. IT IS A TRAGEDY, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, WHETHER HE WAS POLICE OFFICER OR NOT, FORMER ORLANDO POLICE CHIEF ORLANDO ROLON WAS THE ONE WHO HAD THE UNFORTUNATE JOB OF ENDING TURNER\u2019S CAREER FOLLOWING NATIONALLY PUBLICIZED REPORTS OF TURNER ARRESTING TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN 2019, IN VIOLATION OF DEPARTMENT POLICY. BUT ROLON SAYS THE REAL TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEMANDS EVERYONE WHO SEES IT TO REPORT IT. SO IT GOES TO SHOW THAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS SOMETHING THAT COULD AFFECT ANYONE. AND IN THIS CASE, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A FATALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. DENISE TURNER, A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, IS PROMISING HER FAMILY SHE\u2019LL BE DEMANDING THE FULL MEASURE OF JUSTICE AGAINST LONDON. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A LONG, LONG TIME, BUT I, I AM REASSURED THAT THIS MAN WILL DIE IN PRISON. LONDON FLED THE SCENE AFTER THE SHOOTING AND WAS CAPTURED IN HIGHLANDS COUNTY. I TALKED TO THE SHERIFF\u2019S OFFICE THERE A SHORT WHILE AGO, AND THEY\u2019RE GOING TO BE BRINGING LONDON BACK TO ORANGE COUNTY TOMORROW. THE FUNERAL FOR DENNIS TURNER IS SET FOR THE 17TH.
