Deputy Sheriff Jonathan Scott Pine, 34, was killed on February 11, 2014, in Orlando, Florida, while responding to reports of car break-ins in a gated community off South Apopka Vineland Road. Deputies encountered a suspect who fled on foot; the suspect, later identified as Benjamin Holtermann, was found shortly after midnight near South Apopka Vineland Road and Westminster Abbey Boulevard. As Deputy Pine pursued Holtermann, the suspect fired several shots, striking Deputy Pine. Despite wearing a bulletproof vest, Deputy Pine was critically injured and later died at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Reports say Holtermann fired multiple rounds and that at least two bullets struck Deputy Pine’s vest. Holtermann died by suicide shortly after the shooting. Deputy Pine had served with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for just over two years and is survived by his wife and three young children. The incident had a profound impact on the department and the community.
