Timothy James Meyer, 26, was shot in the head in the early morning hours of May 12, 2026, outside the Extended Day Suites on West U.S. Highway 192 in Kissimmee, Florida. He had reportedly been walking a girlfriend home from her job and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition before dying later that night.

Osceola County deputies arrested 53-year-old Raul Perez in connection with the shooting. Perez told police Meyer had approached him aggressively and that he felt threatened, producing a concealed firearm and firing. Perez’s wife gave a similar account of a tall man in black acting suspiciously, but video from a nearby truck showed Meyer walking toward the couple before Perez drew his weapon and fired a single shot. Perez was initially charged with attempted murder; after Meyer’s death the charge was upgraded to second-degree murder and he was booked without bond. The case is pending in the courts.

If anyone witnessed the encounter or has additional video or information, please share what is known with investigators.
