Elijah Heller, 34, of Orlando was shot to death on June 22, 2014, outside Tito’s Hookah Lounge on East Colonial Drive. Heller and 30-year-old Stephen Szorcsik were found in Heller’s black Dodge Magnum after a gunman approached the vehicle and opened fire while the men were seated inside. A witness who had been in the car said the shooter believed the occupants were ready to defend another man he was targeting.

Police arrested 27-year-old Johan Quinones after investigators found the firearm stashed at his girlfriend’s Winter Park apartment and blood on his clothing that matched Heller. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Quinones walking to the car and shooting both men in the head. Quinones was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder; prosecutors said he admitted the killings were revenge and portrayed Heller and Szorcsik as collateral damage.

The families were left devastated by the senseless loss. Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing activity near Tito’s Hookah Lounge on June 22, 2014?
