Terrance Givens was 16 when he was shot on October 22, 2016, while standing on the front porch of his family’s home on Kingsland Avenue in Pine Hills, Orlando. The shooting occurred at about 10:25 p.m. during a birthday party for his upcoming 17th birthday; roughly 50 to 60 friends and family were at the gathering. Terrance was taken to the hospital and died the next day, one day before his 17th birthday. An 18-year-old woman also suffered a gunshot wound to her foot and was later released from the hospital.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office investigators reported no known motive at the time and were searching for suspects; a $5,000 reward was offered for tips leading to an arrest. Terrance was remembered by family as a loving, joyful middle child of five boys who had a big personality and a sense of humor. The community and law enforcement urged anyone with information to come forward.
