Keven Padilla, a 19-year-old from Orlando, was found dead on February 6, 2015, near his motorized scooter on Rio Pinar Lakes Boulevard. Investigators initially thought he had been struck by a vehicle, but later determined his injuries were gunshot wounds and reclassified the death as a homicide.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested two teenagers in connection with the shooting. Jasen Checo, 19, and Marc Rivera, 16, were charged with first-degree murder. Padilla and Rivera were acquaintances; the motive was not immediately clear.

The case drew attention because of the suspects’ ages and the community concern about youth gun violence. Does anyone have information about Padilla’s movements that night or about acquaintances who might shed light on the motive?
