On February 19, 2013, 24-year-old Khoy Williams of Orlando was shot in the head and killed during an armed home invasion at an apartment in the Middlebrook Farms complex. Williams and a 17-year-old friend, Jonathan Cook, arrived at the unit as two armed burglars forced their way inside and opened fire; both Williams and Cook were killed, and a third person was wounded and survived.

Police later identified the intruders as 21-year-old Joshua Heard and 17-year-old Diego Alvarez. Investigators say the men had originally planned to rob a nearby liquor store but changed targets when they saw people entering the apartment; Heard carried a small handgun and Alvarez carried a BB gun. Both were arrested on March 7, 2013, and charged with first-degree murder, armed home-invasion robbery, and false imprisonment.

The case record emphasizes the sudden, violent nature of the break-in and the loss suffered by the victims’ families. If anyone has information about Khoy Williams, Jonathan Cook, or the events at Middlebrook Farms that night, please share what is known.
