Man Shot In Head While Outside Apartment

Posted: 11:45 am EST November 5, 2009

Police are still looking for the three men who robbed and shot a man outside his Altamonte Springs apartment. The shooting happened at the Palms Apartments on Orienta Avenue, near the Altamonte Mall, on Thursday afternoon.

Brandon Walker, 22, was walking from his car to his apartment when the three men jumped him. They stole his wallet and then shot him in the head.

People who live in the area were shocked.

"I think this is outrageous because it's happening in our own backyard and I fear for my safety,” neighbor Jonathan Cordova said.

The bullet grazed Walker’s head. He was rushed to Florida Hospital Altamonte, but is expected to recover.
