ORANGE COUNTY, Florida. – The Orange County Sheriff’s Office released bodycam video Tuesday showing a deputy shooting a man who entered a 7-Eleven near Orlando with a gun in July.
The sheriff’s office said officers conducted surveillance on a home on July 12 where several suspected gang members were staying, all of whom were “suspected of numerous crimes.”
A man – later identified as 19-year-old Robert Mayberry – was seen with a gun as he left the house and rode a scooter to the convenience store at the corner of West Oak Ridge Road and Kingsgate Drive.
