Daniel Ortiz, a 44-year-old Hispanic man, died on September 28, 2015, after being shot in Sarasota, Florida. Officers who responded to a reported car crash in the 1500 block of 25th Street found Ortiz with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital and later died. Investigators say Ortiz was involved in a dispute over the sale of narcotics with 22-year-old Diandrew L. Clarkson of Tampa. During the altercation, Clarkson allegedly produced a semi-automatic handgun and shot Ortiz; Ortiz then drove a short distance before crashing into a tree.

Clarkson was arrested in Tampa a few days after the shooting. Witnesses reported the argument concerned a $40 drug debt. The state charged Clarkson with second-degree murder in connection with Ortiz’s death. Does anyone have information about Ortiz, his routines in Sarasota, or the dispute that could shed more light on what led to this shooting?
