Orlando Jose Canizales, 21, died after a shooting at a home on Chatham Circle in Kissimmee on May 6, 2026. Deputies with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office were called to 2691 Chatham Circle at about 8:40 p.m. and found Canizales suffering from a gunshot wound. He was alive when first responders arrived and was taken to Osceola Regional Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

Family members described Canizales as a Marine, a caring brother and a loving husband. Investigators said the shooting was not described as an intentional killing. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Canizales was shot when a loaded firearm discharged while a friend was allegedly mishandling it. The friend was identified as 22-year-old Carlos Moises Garcia of Kissimmee, who was arrested and charged with manslaughter with a firearm. Reports did not indicate any other suspects.

Does anyone who knew Orlando or was at the Chatham Circle gathering have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
