Orlando police have arrested a suspect that they believe is responsible for shooting and killing a 35-year-old father in a downtown parking garage earlier this month.
Aaron D. Willis, 36, was arrested by members of the Orlando Police Department Fugitive Investigative Unit on Monday, January 22.
Willis, who is from Apopka, is accused of shooting and killing Terry Shawn Rivers, who was found dead on January 7.
On that day, OPD officers responded to reports of a shooting at around 2:13 a.m. The shooting had occurred in the parking garage located at 2 Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando.
Upon arrival, police located a vehicle nearby that had crashed into the Morgan & Morgan headquarters at 20 North Orange Avenue.
Rivers was found sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to the Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
Willis was eventually identified as the suspect in the case by homicide detectives. He now faces a charge of second degree murder with a firearm. He is currently incarcerated at the Orange County Jail.
