A man who suffered a fatal wound about two miles west of the University of Central Florida Friday night has been pronounced deceased and has been identified, officials say, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Orange County deputies were dispatched to the 10500 block of Cherry Oak Circle, just north of University Blvd. around 9:30 p.m. Friday night, said Lt. Joe McCollum with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the Sentinel. It was there that they discovered the man – Richard Marcano Trinidad – critically injured.
Trinidad’s girlfriend, age 36, was at the scene when deputies arrived, according to the Sentinel. She was taken into custody and her name has not yet been released.
Trinidad was taken to a local area hospital by Orange County Fire Rescue medics, where he was pronounced dead, said McCollum, according to the Sentinel.
Further information on how Trinidad was fatally wounded is not yet available and it is unclear if the woman is facing any charges at this time.
The death investigation remains ongoing.
