Man, 53, dead inside Orange County bail bondsman business

Deadly shooting at The Bondsman in Orange County

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 53-year-old man was found dead inside a bail bondsman business in Orange County on Friday afternoon.

The shooting was reported at 1:20 p.m. at The Bondsman in the 1000 block of West Michigan Street.

A family member called deputies to check on their loved one at the bail bonds business, and that's when deputies found the victim, James Cole, dead, investigators said.

"We don't know when the actual incident happened. We just know the family member tried to reach their loved one and couldn't get ahold of him," said Jane Watrl, spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies are reviewing surveillance video inside the business to get information about the possible shooter.

The shooting doesn't appear to have been random, Watrel said.

No other details have been released.
