ORLANDO, Fla. – New details are emerging in a fatal shooting case where a 16-year-old boy died after officials say the teen was “dropped off” at an apartment complex on Raleigh Street.

As the sheriff’s office takes over this investigation, they say that they are looking for any possible leads at this time. News 6 was able to go into the neighborhood where this tragic incident happened and spoke with neighbors who say that the violence needs to end.
“There is no point in taking someone’s life like that, like I don’t even see how you can sleep at night knowing you’ve taken someone’s life over something dumb,” said one woman in a car.
The woman didn’t want to appear on camera but says she heard the gunshots the night 16-year-old Antrevus Cantlow died.
Investigators were able to pinpoint that Cantlow was shot near San Domingo Road Sunday night before he was “dropped off” near an apartment complex on Raleigh Street. He later died at the hospital.
Annalisha Cantlow, Antrevus Cantlow’s mother, was too upset to talk today but gave us this statement, saying in part, “He was never dropped off and left, they did as much as they knew how to do to get him the help that he needed.”
No suspect information has been given, but neighbors where the shooting happened say they are sending prayers to the family and call for people to put down their weapons.
“It’s a shame, it’s a shame that someone literally got into a situation that they felt like they had to pull a gun,” William Daniels said.
The woman News 6 spoke to in the car said, “You don’t have to resolve it with trying to take someone’s life, like the gun violence is just pointless at this point and it really needs to stop.”
The sheriff’s office is asking the public if you have any information about this incident you are encouraged to call them immediately.
