Man found shot to death in Altamonte Springs home

Homicide victim identified as Robert German

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. – A man was found shot to death Thursday in an Altamonte Springs home, and his death is being investigated as a homicide, Seminole County sheriff's officials said.

Deputies were called to a home in the 100 block of Florence Avenue around 1 p.m. after shots were heard, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies said they found Robert German, 58, unresponsive inside the home. German was pronounced dead at a hospital, according to officials.

Sheriff's Office spokesman Bob Kealing said others inside the home heard gunshots, looked around the house and found German in a room.

"One of the things we're still trying to establish is where the fatal shot comes from," Kealing said. "Was it inside the house or outside the house?"

An investigation is ongoing.

"We are speaking with witnesses and people in the community, and we're hopeful that those interviews will end up turning up the information that we need to solve this crime," Kealing said.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at 407-665-6650 or to anonymously call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
