On Monday, Orlando Police Department officials issued a statement about the shooting that injured three 14-year-old boys at the park, which is located at 5250 International Drive in south Orlando.

One of the victims, 14-year-old Trevon Robinson of Hillsborough County, had suffered critical injuries as a result of the shooting. Police say that in the hours since, Robinson has succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

The second victim remains in the hospital in critical, but stable, condition, while the third victim has been released from the hospital.
