Orlando police said the confrontation involved Alan Vernon Florvilus, Roderick Barron and Howard Bennett.<\/p>\n
Detectives said Bennett and Barron had argued the night before the shooting. During that dispute, Bennett allegedly threatened to shoot Barron and asked Florvilus to come to the apartment complex.<\/p>\n
Police said Bennett and Barron encountered each other again in the parking lot the following morning. Investigators determined that Bennett attempted to pull a gun on Barron, but Barron drew his own firearm and shot Bennett before Bennett could fire.<\/p>\n
Bennett died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
During the confrontation, Florvilus allegedly retrieved a rifle-style firearm from an apartment and opened fire on Barron, seriously wounding him before fleeing.<\/p>\n
Barron survived and provided detectives with an account that police said was consistent with physical evidence and witness statements.<\/p>\n
Following a review of the evidence, investigators determined Bennett\u2019s death was a justifiable homicide. Barron was not charged in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n
Detectives obtained a warrant on Aug. 13 charging Florvilus with attempted first-degree murder.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Marshals Service Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended Florvilus in Tampa on Tuesday, Aug. 18.<\/p>\n
The investigation remains active.<\/p>\n
