Dylan Michael Jimenez, 21, of Orlando died on August 6, 2022 after a shooting outside the Heritage Hotel on South Orange Blossom Trail. The incident began as a confrontation involving Jimenez, his older brother Bryan Matthew Richardson, and another man, Rafael Villaverde. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, all three exchanged gunfire; both Jimenez and his brother were fatally wounded. Jimenez and Richardson collapsed in the hotel parking lot and were taken to a hospital, where they later died.

Rafael Villaverde was wounded and arrested at the scene. His defense has said he fired in self-defense and that Jimenez shot first; surveillance video and witness statements were reported to show Villaverde drew his weapon after being shot. Deputies shot Richardson at the scene after he reportedly held a firearm and did not comply with commands to drop it; the deputies were placed on paid administrative leave while their actions were reviewed. The brothers’ family has spoken about their loss; the investigation into the shootings remains an open matter.
