Sheriff to give update on deadly vacation rental house shooting in Osceola County

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — Arrests made in connection to a party held at a vacation rental house will be the focus of a news conference by The Osceola County Sheriffs Office on Thursday morning.

The party happened at a Kissimmee-area vacation rental back in March.

Investigators said a 17-year-old attending the house party in the Veranda Palms subdivision died after someone shot him.

Officials said in addition to new developments about arrests, they will also share officers’ body-worn camera video and other evidence Thursday.

An agency spokesperson said Sheriff Chris Blackmon will discuss the Rolling Loud music event set for this weekend in nearby Orlando and how deputies will aim to keep people staying at vacation rental homes safe across Osceola County.

Blackmon’s news conference is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m.

Channel 9 will be there and will bring you live coverage on WFTV.com and on Eyewitness News beginning at noon.
