Joseph L. Hepburn, a 25-year-old Orlando resident, was shot and killed on June 6, 2018. His body was found late that night in the middle of Bentley Street near North Tampa Avenue after police responded to a shooting call.

Police reports say Hepburn had picked up two 18-year-olds, Willie James Eckford and Jahquon Davon Glover, at a Best Western on West Colonial Drive. An argument escalated into a physical struggle and Eckford allegedly shot Hepburn. Glover later told detectives that Eckford had planned to rob and possibly kill Hepburn. Both men were charged with first-degree murder and carjacking with a firearm; Eckford faced an additional charge of first-degree murder with a firearm and Glover was also charged with battery. Both were held at the Orange County Jail without bond.

Few details have been released about motive beyond the alleged robbery plan and the altercation. If anyone has information about Hepburn, the pickup at the Best Western, or the events on Bentley Street that night, please come forward.
