Hecker, who has a valid Concealed Weapons permit, was armed with a gun and gunfire was exchanged, deputies said.
Hecker then got into his car and drove a short distance away and called 911, officials said. He then returned to the scene to meet with investigators.
Medina told deputies he had been robbed, but that information proved to be false, authorities said. He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he later died, deputies said.
