Terry Shawn Rivers, 35, was fatally shot in downtown Orlando during the early morning hours of January 7, 2024. Police responded about 2:13 a.m. to gunfire at a parking garage near South Orange Avenue and West Central Boulevard and found Rivers in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that had crashed into the Morgan & Morgan office building across the street. He was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators determined the shooting occurred on the first level of the parking garage. One witness reported hearing about 25 gunshots; crowd footage later shown in court captured people fleeing in panic. Family members suggested an argument may have preceded the shooting. Detectives later identified and arrested 36-year-old Aaron Demarcus Willis of Apopka; prosecutors said surveillance shows Willis and Rivers in a physical altercation before the shots were fired, and Willis was charged with second-degree murder with a firearm.

Rivers was a devoted father, a chef who had recently launched a food truck, and ran multiple businesses including a nonprofit, the Process of Revision Foundation. His family has appealed for answers and organized fundraising efforts after his death.

Did anyone in the downtown Orlando area that morning see or hear anything that could help explain what happened inside the parking garage?
