Jesse Louis Valdes, 36, was fatally shot during a house party in Orlando, Florida, on March 13, 2021. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home in the 200 block of Ring Road around 5:25 a.m. after reports of gunfire. Three other people were wounded; one was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later stabilized, while two others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The party was well attended, and despite many potential witnesses detectives have not identified a suspect or a clear motive. Family members described Valdes as loving and spoke about the impact of his death on those close to him, including his son Jesse Valdes Jr. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.
