ORLANDO, Fla. – Osceola County Deputies arrested a 27-year-old man accused of attempted murder following a shooting and violent confrontation early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

According to the Osceola County Sheriff\u2019s Office, deputies responded around 5:00 a.m. to reports of gunfire and an aggravated battery on Fortune Road. A woman told investigators her ex-boyfriend attacked her earlier at a bar around 1:30 a.m. and continued harassing her by phone.<\/p>\n

Later, in a nearby parking lot, the suspect allegedly fired multiple shots into the victim\u2019s vehicle while she was inside, assaulted her, stole her cellphone, and fled with his 4-year-old daughter in the car.<\/p>\n

Detectives located the suspect at his residence around 1:15 p.m., but he fled on a motorcycle before abandoning it and running into a wooded area. With help from his mother, he later surrendered to deputies.<\/p>\n

Josue Emmanuel Figueroa Jr., 27, was taken into custody and booked into the Osceola County Jail without bond. He faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, aggravated battery, and robbery with a weapon.<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
