Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP3147) and 7 other sources
Vincent Morgan, a 29-year-old man, was reported missing on July 8, 1998, in Winter Garden, Florida. He was last seen when he and a friend, Heyward Howard, borrowed a car to visit another friend's house. Their visit took place late at night, around 1:30 AM. The situation took a troubling turn when blood and bullet casings were later discovered at the friend's home they were visiting.

Despite an extensive investigation, neither Vincent nor Heyward has been found, and they are both presumed dead. Their case remains open, and authorities continue to seek any information that might lead to answers regarding their disappearance. The Orange County Sheriff's Office is the primary agency investigating the case.
