Jack Radke, 48, was shot and killed on July 7, 2017, in the Eagle Creek subdivision near Lake Hart in Orlando while sitting in his van and talking to a neighbor. Witnesses said the shooting happened too quickly for Radke to have said or done anything threatening, and no gun was found in his van.

The relationship between Radke and his ex-wife Carla Radke had been contentious; Carla filed multiple domestic violence injunctions against him in 2015. Curtsinger, who was dating Carla, told authorities he acted in self-defense and claimed Radke pulled a gun on him. Curtsinger was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and held without bond; investigators reported no evidence supporting the self-defense claim.

Friends and neighbors described Radke as hardworking, devoted to his son, and well-liked in the community. Does anyone in Eagle Creek have information about that evening or recall seeing what happened near Lake Hart around 6:30 p.m. on July 7, 2017?
