Dale Eric Floren, 56, was killed after arriving at the Florida Mall to begin construction work on the night of April 14, 2017. Authorities were called about 10:03 p.m. to the northeast portion of the mall parking lot, an area being used to store equipment and materials for ongoing construction. Floren had been both shot and stabbed. Orange County Fire Rescue transported him to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators initially had no description of a suspect or vehicle and did not announce a motive. About six weeks later, on May 25, 2017, police released surveillance footage and an image of a person of interest wearing dark clothing and a hooded garment who had used an ATM at a convenience store near the scene; authorities said that person might have information relevant to the case. A Crimeline reward of $5,000 was offered and family members urged the public for help. No arrest, charge, trial, or conviction is documented in the available record.

If anyone knew Dale, saw the area around the Florida Mall that night, or recognizes the person of interest, please share what you know.
