ORLANDO, Fla. – One teen died and two others were injured in a shooting Saturday night outside of Dezerland Park when someone fired into a crowd, according to the Orlando Police Department.

Officers were already on scene around 11:43 p.m. at 5250 International Drive to monitor a “large group of juveniles” allegedly loitering on the property, according to a statement.

Police said three 14-year-old boys were shot and taken to the hospital. One of the teens, identified as Trevon Robinson, of Hillsborough County, died at the hospital.

One other teen remains in the hospital in critical but stable condition and the third teen was released from the hospital.

Ethan Wesley and his friends visited Dezerland on vacation from Georgia.

“It’s insane. You don’t expect to hear about stuff like that. This is where people come on family vacations,” Wesley said.

Police said no suspects have been identified.

“Probably they need more security right here, or police or private security right here,” said Orlando Laeino, a Dezerland patron.
