ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Crimeline is offering a $10,000 reward for information in solving a 27-year-old man’s homicide, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Friday.
Alphonzo Johnson Jr. was shot Feb. 12 at Barnett Park near West Colonial Drive, deputies said.
Several people were at the park and a fight broke out at the basketball court where Johnson was shot. The father of five died this week, deputies said.
"One individual was fleeing in his vehicle and was shot and he died," said Jeff Williamson with the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
No arrests have been made in relation to the shooting.
"There were several dozen people who may have seen something or witnessed something. We're hoping that the increase in the Crimeline reward from $5,000 to $10,000 hopefully will bring someone to the forefront to be able to give us more details as to what happened," Williamson said.
Anyone who has information about the shooting can call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
