Zachary Duarte, 28, was shot and killed on November 10, 2020, at the Destiny Springs Condominiums on North Wymore Road in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Duarte was found with a gunshot wound to the chest around 10 p.m. His girlfriend performed CPR at the scene and paramedics continued efforts, but Duarte was pronounced dead there.

Police say the shooting occurred during an argument between Duarte and 26-year-old Heriberto Cruz-Vargas, who was armed with a handgun and fired once into Duarte’s chest. Cruz-Vargas remained at the condominium until officers arrived and was arrested; he was charged with second-degree murder and booked into the Seminole County Jail without bail. Reports state Cruz-Vargas and Duarte were friends and that the shooting was not an act of self-defense.

Does anyone have information about Zachary, the night of the shooting, or interactions between him and Cruz-Vargas?
