A shooting on Nov. 23 at an east Orange County strip-mall parking lot on University Blvd. and Dean left one person dead and one in the hospital, according to AN Orange County Sheriff’s Office release.
Days later, homicide detectives investigating the scene have provided an update to the situation. The following statement has been provided by Orange County Homicide Detectives:
“On 11/23/12, Stephen Thivierge was shot and killed in the parking lot of 10038 University Boulevard by a Hispanic male known only as “June.” The investigation has revealed that Stephen Thivierge was not the intended target.
The intended target was also shot but survived and advised he was targeted by a Hispanic male he knew only as “June” and his brother. The investigation further revealed that the surviving victim recently began dating Desiree Lutman, aka, Desiree Mafeo. Desiree is currently dating “June” as well. The surviving victim advised he had become aware in recent days, “June” was looking for him and believes he was targeted by “June” and his brother because of his association with Desiree. Desiree has been uncooperative in this investigation so far.”
Anyone with information that may help identify “June” and his brother are asked to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit or CRIMELINE.
The shooting took place within the parking lot that houses the popular UCF bar, On-Tap, according to the OCSO. The shooting, however, does not appear to be related to the bar or other stores in the plaza.
