4 suspects ID’d in Kissimmee shooting; 1 found dead

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office identified four suspects involved in a shooting near Kissimmee early Saturday, one of whom was found dead near a brush fire in Marion County the next day.

Thaddeous Warrington, Malik Brown, Mark VelezAmador and a 17-year-old girl were involved in a shooting on the 2900 block of Bonita Circle around 2 a.m. Saturday, OCSO detectives said.

Brown was found dead Sunday in Ocala — roughly a 100 mile drive from where the shooting occurred.

OCSO spokesman Maj. Jacob Ruiz did not release details of the incident, but said deputies arrived after the shooting to find someone injured. The suspects had already fled the scene.

Warrington, 19, and Velez-Amador, 24, were arrested Sunday by Daytona Beach police on charges of first-degree murder. The 17-year-old faces a charge of accessory after the fact.

The Sentinel is not naming the girl because of her age.

Ruiz said the shooting remains under investigation and encouraged anyone with information to call the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office at 407-348-2222.
