Tyrese Pugh was 19 when he was shot and killed on the evening of March 19, 2019, in the Pine Hills neighborhood of Orlando. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to an aggravated battery call around 7:35 p.m. near the 5000 block of Pine Chase Drive and found Pugh with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Pugh had been visiting a friend in the area when the shooting occurred. The crime scene required additional investigators and caused significant disruptions for nearby residents, some of whom could not access their homes for several hours. A vigil was held by family and friends to remember him.

No arrests have been announced and investigators report no significant developments or identified suspects. Does anyone who lived in Pine Hills that night or who knew Tyrese have information that could help the investigation?
