15-Year-Old Charged With Manslaughter in Orlando Park Killing Near High School

The sheriff says the case stems from a hallway confrontation at Oak Ridge High School.

Overview

  • Sheriff John Mina said a 15-year-old was arrested and faces manslaughter with a firearm in the death of a 16-year-old at Vogt-Meloon Park.
  • The victim was identified as 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy, who was found with two gunshot wounds and later died.
  • Authorities said the suspect ran to Oak Ridge High School after the shooting, where a school resource deputy detained him in the cafeteria and recovered a gun.
  • Oak Ridge High School briefly went into lockdown during the police response, and the district later confirmed the campus was secure and the lockdown was lifted.
  • Mina said it appears the violence followed a minor hallway bump earlier in the day and plans to meet at the park’s basketball courts to fight, and the investigation continues.
