Bernard Keith Hildreth Jr., a 31-year-old resident of Orlando, Florida, was found unresponsive in his vehicle at the intersection of South Orange Blossom Trail and Landstreet Road on February 18, 2019. Deputies determined he had sustained a gunshot wound to his torso. He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Jace Steven Gipson and charged him with second-degree murder. Gipson made an initial court appearance where the judge ordered him held without bond and prohibited him from contacting anyone involved in the case except through his lawyer. Reports say whether Hildreth and Gipson knew each other before the shooting has not been disclosed. Hildreth’s mother, Belinda Worthen, and sister, Precious Worthen, described his loving nature and said they intend to attend the trial.

Are there readers who knew Bernard or who have information about what happened that day?
