Winter Garden Fire Rescue worked to save Lee’s life while he was being transported to the hospital, but he died from his injuries, the department said.

Investigators determined Michael Reginald King, 45, was a suspect in the shooting, and officers obtained a warrant for his arrest.

King was arrested the same day by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and is being held at the county jail on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, records showed.

It was not immediately clear what led up to the violence, or if Lee and King knew each other prior to the shooting.
