Amaurio Sledge, 19, was found dead from an apparent shooting on August 6, 2023, at the Advenir at The Oaks apartment complex in Ocoee, Florida. His body was discovered about 1:45 a.m. at the rear of the complex on Old Winter Garden Road between Blackwood and South Bluford avenues after reports of gunfire. Witnesses said a dark vehicle with multiple passengers left the area around the time of the shooting.

Police later announced an arrest. On August 20, 2023, officers charged 20-year-old Amarien Shamar in connection with Sledge’s death, and said Shamar and the victim knew each other and the shooting did not appear random. Authorities credited assistance from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the State Attorney’s Office, but said the investigation remained ongoing and they continued to seek information.

Did anyone in the Ocoee area see the dark vehicle or have information about what happened that night?
