FDLE searches Orlando home in connection with Fruitland Park murder case

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement searched a home in Orlando on Monday in connection with a Fruitland Park murder case.

Fruitland Park police said Scott Behney, 58, was shot and killed inside a friend’s garage on South Dixie Avenue in April.

A couple months later, police announced the arrest of three suspects: Larry Burrows, Matthew Splunge and Tracy Mays Jr. The arrests came when police found a vehicle in Orlando that belonged to one of the men.
