Miguel Lanzo, 72, was shot in his garage on the evening of December 11, 2021, in the 2700 block of Numilla Drive in Orlando and later died at a hospital. Deputies who responded to reports of shots fired found him with a gunshot wound; the Orange County Sheriff’s Office identified him as the victim and opened an investigation.

The investigation led to the arrest of 26-year-old neighbor Ramon Antonio Frias Valerio. Witnesses reported seeing Valerio shoot Lanzo in the back, and deputies say the firearm believed to be the weapon was found in Valerio’s possession. After the shooting Valerio returned to his home and at first refused to surrender; he later exited and was taken into custody and was booked into the Orange County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder.

The motive has not been established and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone knew Miguel Lanzo or saw activity in the 2700 block of Numilla Drive on December 11, 2021, please come forward with information.
