ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The Orlando Police Department has released surveillance video and new information regarding a deadly officer-involved shooting that occurred on Friday at a tattoo shop on Edgewater Drive.<\/p>\n

The incident happened as police were serving a drugs and firearms search warrant when a person exited the shop with an AK-47 style rifle.<\/p>\n

Orlando Police say they had been surveilling the tattoo shop for months after receiving a tip on September 17th about drug sales occurring inside. <\/p>\n

This led to a two-month investigation focusing on nine individuals associated with the shop, culminating in the SWAT team serving a search warrant on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to the Orlando Police Department, officers witnessed a registered gang member, who was not connected to the search warrant, run out of the tattoo shop with an AK-47 style rifle. The gang member then ran back into the shop, prompting officers to fire shots in his direction. <\/p>\n

Police later entered the shop and discovered 20-year-old Kaleb Williams dead inside. According to police, Williams, who was part of the search warrant, was found with a stolen gun on him. <\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 mother told channel 9 her son was not the intended target of the shooting and is grieving the 20-year-old who leaves behind a one-year-old son. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a one-year-old little baby boy. And now my grandson will never know his dad,\u201d said Williams\u2019 mother Nathalie Birch-Escribano.<\/p>\n

According to police, the search warrant resulted in the recovery of the following items: <\/p>\n

\u2022 Five firearms <\/p>\n

\u2022 Multiple boxes of handgun and rifle ammunition <\/p>\n

\u2022 190 grams of cannabis (some prepackaged for sale) <\/p>\n

\u2022 One case of NARCAN <\/p>\n

\u2022 Paraphernalia including scales and a vacuum sealer with bags <\/p>\n

Police say Charges for three individuals arrested after the search as well as for the registered gang member armed with the AK-47 style rifle, are pending the outcome of their investigation. <\/p>\n
