ALL RIGHT. CAM. SEE YOU THEN. MEANTIME, IN ORANGE COUNTY, A MAN IS DEAD THIS AFTERNOON AFTER POLICE SAY HE WAS SHOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD. YES, WE ACTUALLY BROKE THIS STORY THIS MORNING ON WESH TWO SUNRISE. THAT SHOOTING HAPPENED LATE LAST NIGHT ON BETHUNE DRIVE IN THE WASHINGTON SHORES AREA OF ORLANDO. WESH TWO. HAYLEY CROMBLEHOLME IS THERE RIGHT NOW. HAYLEY POLICE WERE STILL IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MOST OF THE DAY TODAY. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. WE\u2019VE ACTUALLY MOVED OVER TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY WRAPPED THINGS UP AT THAT HOME AROUND 230 THIS AFTERNOON. THEY WERE THERE FOR HOURS. WE SAW THEM PHOTOGRAPHING THE HOME, SEARCHING A CAR. THEY EVEN TOWED ANOTHER CAR AWAY. NOW WE SPOKE WITH PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT MOST OF THEM DIDN\u2019T WANT TO SPEAK WITH US ON CAMERA. WHAT WE DO KNOW TONIGHT IS THAT THIS SHOOTING LEFT A 35 YEAR OLD MAN DEAD. CRIME SCENE TAPE BLOCKED OFF A CORNER OF BETHUNE DRIVE IN WASHINGTON SHORES FOR HOURS MONDAY. I CAME THROUGH HERE. I ASKED ONE OF THE GUYS WHAT HAPPENED. HE SAID, SOMEBODY GOT SHOT LAST NIGHT. POLICE SAY THE PERSON SHOT WAS 35 YEAR OLD EDWIN COLLAZO. OFFICERS FOUND HIM AFTER GETTING A REPORT OF A SHOOTING IN THE AREA AROUND 1037 SUNDAY NIGHT. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BUT DIDN\u2019T SURVIVE. AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, JUST PRAY ABOUT IT AND ASK. YOU KNOW IT DON\u2019T HAPPEN TO ME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT\u2019S HARD. IT\u2019S EASY TO GET IN TROUBLE AND IT\u2019S HARD TO GET OUT. THIS MAN SPENDS A LOT OF TIME IN THE AREA, BUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SEEMED HESITANT TO TALK ON CAMERA, SEVERAL SAYING WHILE THEY WEREN\u2019T SURPRISED TO SEE POLICE OUT HERE, THEY WERE SURPRISED SOMEONE WAS KILLED. THE INVESTIGATION CENTERED ON A HOUSE. YOU COULD SEE A BLACK CAR GET TOWED AWAY, AND AN OFFICER SEARCHING ANOTHER CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. YOU COULD ALSO SEE INVESTIGATORS TAKING PICTURES INSIDE OF THE HOME, WHICH HAD A STROLLER AND A KID\u2019S BIKE LAYING RIGHT OUTSIDE. ORLANDO POLICE HAVEN\u2019T ANNOUNCED ANY ARRESTS. YOU GOING TO GET CAUGHT? YOU CAN\u2019T HIDE. YOU CAN\u2019T HIDE IN ORLANDO YOU GOING TO GET CAUGHT? NOW, THE ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS SAID THAT THIS INVESTIGATION IS ACTIVE. IT\u2019S STILL ONGOING. THEY\u2019RE NOT RELEASING MORE TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THIS CASE.
