ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A man is in the hospital after being shot in the head outside of a bar off of East Colonial Drive early Monday morning, according to Orange County deputies.
Deputies said the shooting happened just west of Semoran Boulevard after 4 a.m. outside of El Riconcito Bar & Grill.
Deputies said 28-year-old Bryan Ortega was found with a gunshot wound to his head inside of a gray vehicle. A passenger in the car was uninjured, but the vehicle itself had bullet holes on the hood and a flat tire. Investigators said armed security guards were involved in the incident.
Ortega was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
A neighbor said he called 911 after hearing at least 30 gunshots.
